It is 2 December and Christmas is in full swing. As the Tánaiste will be well aware, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and the team of elves are absolutely flat-out in their workshop in Lapland trying to make toys for the children of Ireland and children right across the globe. He will also be aware, in his role as Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, that there is an issue with the supply chain in Ireland, the UK, Europe and right across the globe. I want him to reassure the children of Ireland that the supply chain issue will not affect Santa Claus and his team in Lapland and that we can secure a safe supply of goods and raw materials for Santa in his workshop so that he and his team can make toys for the children right across Ireland who have, for the most part, been absolutely excellent this year. I would like the Tánaiste to reassure them that they will have their toys on Christmas morning.
