I have two questions. My second one is a bit out of left field, but the Chair might give me a bit of time at the end. My initial question relates to subhead A7 and concerns the measures to support the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy. There is a relatively modest amount of funding compared with other subheads here. I am keen to understand what our approach is going to be to the nuclear non-proliferation review conference in 2026. Ireland has played a key role in this context for decades, especially, though, in recent years in relation to a Middle East zone free from nuclear weapons. Obviously, this is going to be a key discussion point leading into the review conference. I would be pleased to hear any comment the Tánaiste might have in terms of our preparation and political direction going into that conference in a year's time.
