I thank Ms NÍ Bhriain and Mr. Kelly for taking the time out to be here. Since we started this process, we have listened to a number of witnesses from both sides of the argument and I have found it very enlightening. We have got to a point where we need to have a conversation about neutrality and what exactly it means because having listened to the witnesses who have appeared to date, everybody has his or her own idea about what it means. In the world we live in today, that is a conversation we need to have.

Flowing from that, let us take what is going on in Gaza and Ukraine. Do the witnesses agree with this country's stance to date on both conflicts?
