The figure I had was $411 billion. The fact the Tánaiste said $486 billion suggests that things are going in the wrong direction as regards Ukraine's ability to finance its recovery. The gap for borrowing will be something that we will all have to deal with globally and internationally over the coming decade, as the Tánaiste said. SPUR is a crisis facility, which will focus on reconstruction, particularly critical infrastructure. As the Tánaiste knows, there have been many attacks by the Russians on power stations, bridges and dams.

The Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, referenced housing. In terms of Ireland's overall contribution to modular housing in the Ukrainian context, will the Tánaiste give us an idea of the initial number, if he has it, for what we are providing and what is projected for the future?
