I will ask two quick questions because there is unfortunately another vote in the Dáil. Professor Butler used the word "could" in his contribution. He did not say "would". He then used the word "would" and changed it to "could". That softened the impact of what he was saying. We might come back to that. I will come back very briefly to the witnesses we had last week. In the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, those witnesses said that Ireland has already banned services. If I interpreted them correctly, they said particular sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU essentially amounted to a ban on trade and services from a particular state outside the EU. Is that correct, yes or no?
