That is fantastic. Again, I commend our commitment. It reflects the commitment in our local communities to the Ukrainian effort.
On the coalition of the willing, obviously we are in a position whereby the Government will shortly move legislation to remove the triple lock. If that is successful, we will remake peacekeeping and how we in this country go about peacekeeping. Peace negotiations are taking place on Ukraine. Have there been any discussions among the coalition of the willing, notwithstanding the fragility of those talks, to the effect that there will have to be some kind of a presence at some point? If so, even at this stage, what is Ireland's mood or view towards that?
