It is really important that we play our full part in those sanctions. With regard to the limited partnerships, it has been demonstrated that a Russian company previously subjected to the sanctions in 2014 was able to overcome them by having a registered company in Ireland.

We do not want to look back in retrospect and see that there was a way around this. I am hopeful that the Taoiseach will give us an assurance that there will be comprehensive consideration of this.

What practical steps are there to make it easy to get from Poland and other Eastern European jurisdictions to Ireland for people who wish to make that journey?
