I move amendment No. 3:

To insert the following after "sovereignty and territorial integrity of states":

"approves the participation of up to 30 members of the Defence Forces in the newly established European Union Military Assistance Mission (EUMAM), under the command of its Director of the Military Planning and Conduct Capability, Vice Admiral Hervé Bléjea, the aim of which is to enhance the military capability of Ukraine’s Armed Forces and that the State shall be bound by Council Decision (CFSP) 2021/509 establishing a European Peace Facility, and any cost arising therefrom or from the European Union Military Assistance Mission, and the Taoiseach shall report on the said cost to the Exchequer no later than one year from today and every year thereafter".

It affords the Dáil the chance the opportunity to assent to Irish participation in the European Union military assistance mission and so I will press it.
