My questions are primarily for Ms Ní Bhriain. I thank her for her opening statement and I also thank Ms Kinney. In reference to Ireland's neutrality, Ms Ní Bhriain said we did not start wars or participate in them. I am conscious that this is the finance committee and I do not want to get too caught up in neutrality and the triple lock. I appreciate it is worthy of further discussion, but not necessarily in the time allotted for this forum. The reality is Ireland is not going to start a fight - we will not start a war - but that is not saying a fight is not necessarily going to come to us at some point. It is not likely but it is not saying that it is not going to happen. In Ms Ní Bhriain's view, is contributing to the most effective deterrent available not a worthwhile endeavour?
