I have been a Senator since 2020. This, therefore, is my second term. I am also Vice Chair of this committee since last week. I am a member of the Council of Europe, along with Senator Stephenson. I have a keen interest in foreign affairs and foreign policy, particularly with regard to Ukraine. I worked a lot with Ukrainian colleagues regarding displaced children from Ukraine since the war started. I also was a short-term employee in the Department of Foreign Affairs when the former Minister, Simon Coveney, was there. I look forward to the next couple of years and the work we are going to do on this committee.
