I thank the Deputy. I will now draw matters to a conclusion. I reiterate the apologies from Senator Joe O'Reilly for his inability to attend the meeting as he is in the Seanad, and from Senator Wilson who was unavoidably absent. Both send their continued good wishes to the ambassador and the people of Ukraine. Deputy Carthy is also in the Chamber, as we can see. He, too, would wish to be here were it not for a clash of schedules between the plenary Parliament and this committee. I thank the ambassador for joining us. I also thank Mr. Dmytro Shchedrin. We look forward to continued engagement and no doubt we will have a further opportunity of meeting in the autumn session. I thank the ambassador.

I remind members that we have some private business to attend to immediately after this meeting. I suggest we move into that pretty rapidly.
