I thank the Minister and his team for appearing before the committee. I have three very brief points to make, the first of which is to welcome the proposal, at least, to send Irish troops as part of the European military assistance mission to Poland and Germany to train Ukrainians in medical training and demining. Not many people know, but University College Dublin, UCD, actually has people out there at the moment who have been providing medical training to the Ukrainian armed forces.
