I ask about Ireland’s €24.8 million contribution to the European Peace Facility - there is no irony in that name. We make a contribution for non-lethal support, mainly de-mining, but we also do small arms training. Are we training Ukrainian soldiers in explosives? I believe that to de-mine an area, you have to know how to make a mine. Are we training them in how to make a mine as well? That would not be non-lethal.
