We know the outcome of the various reports in terms of access to the British files.

I do not have time to respond to all the other Deputies. Deputy Daly raised the energy market and the energy question.

The meeting was a preparatory meeting for the summit, which will happen in March and will be comprehensive. It will cover a wide range of issues which will involve a number of Ministers. Obviously, the security situation in Europe was discussed, as well as Northern Ireland and legacy.

Deputy Bacik raised a very important point regarding fear in Ukraine and fear in Czechia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland about Russian aggression. We do not appreciate enough in this country or in this House the absolute fear that what has happened in the past will happen again. They feel in real danger. That is changing the nature of debate in Europe on security and defence. The Members should be under no illusions about it. We have to be clear about that and be supportive of Ukraine. We will be providing non-lethal aid to Ukraine. I make no apologies for that because they need it.
