The vetoes and examples that have been used are completely exaggerated. Even in the hypothetical conversations we have been having in the last couple of weeks about peacekeepers potentially travelling to Ukraine in the scenario that peace is agreed there, I will always acknowledge that of course we would do so when that is agreed by both Ukraine and Russia. That points to the multilateralism that the UN holds. I will ask the question again. What efforts are being made to fix this from within the UN? I appreciate the Tánaiste is saying he does not think Russia would do so, but what efforts have been made? Have discussions and debates even been attempted by diplomats to try to find ways to maintain the multilateralism that is offered by the UN in our triple lock without having to walk away from the UN and try to find another replacement?
