I am sorry I missed the questions and answers as I was in the Chamber for something else so apologies if some of my questions have already been answered.

Ireland will hold the Presidency of the European Council in coming months. In her opening statement Ms Gerasko spoke a lot about the challenges with energy and energy infrastructure. Ireland has made a contribution but obviously we are a small country. It would be interesting to hear in terms of our Presidency what priorities Ms Gerasko thinks would be relevant around the energy infrastructure piece in terms of supporting Ukraine.
