On green transition, I am hugely interested in this. How can we even discuss that when we are literally talking about people that are putting the dollar before abuse, violation, health and safety and deaths? How can we go to that area? The overall question is, how can Ireland help? I am not being patronising by that. Ireland has stood up before. I was lucky enough to be at the UN General Assembly. I met a lot of leaders and foreign ministers over there. Ireland is noted. We might be small, but we are loud. I am interested to hear how we can help. I know the treaty is where witnesses want to go. We wanted a treaty in relation to Gaza and everyone did not come together when we got to UN level.
