Earlier this week, some equipment - military vehicles - was sent to Ukraine, specifically 20 4X4s, two ambulances and eight low loaders. I have been told there is a huge need for more of that kind of equipment – ambulances, buses, trucks and so on. Perhaps the committee could help with that and put out a call to people across Ireland who have vehicles like that which are not being used. They will be sent to Ukraine to help with people who are injured and people who need that kind of support. What kind of help is required in respect of vehicles like that? Can Europe and Ireland do more in that regard?
