I will touch on two areas briefly concerning the Taoiseach's discussions. Both concern the ongoing war in Ukraine that was launched by Russia. I would appreciate if it is possible for the Taoiseach to expand on a point he referred to concerning the financial supports Ukraine will need. Does this feed into the wider concept that has emerged subsequently in the EU of a need for a new form of a Marshall Plan for Ukraine? I think a conference in Switzerland is planned on this aspect soon. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Coveney, told the House last week about a pledging amount and how Ireland could co-operate with the Netherlands on this aspect. The Netherlands has shown brilliant solidarity with Ireland on Brexit issues, but when it comes to solidarity with Ukraine, has a plan been mapped out concerning how Ireland and the Netherlands can work together to expedite the rightful accession of Ukraine into the EU?
