Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Le trí bliana anuas tá muintir na hÚcráine tar éis an fód a sheasamh go cróga i gcoinne ionradh brúidiúil na Rúise ar a dtír. Tá gá arís le meas don dlí idirnáisiúnta agus do cheart na hÚcráine flaitheas, féinchinntiúchán agus saoire a bheith aici. Ní féidir ligean don Rúis tairbhe a shaothrú óna ionsaí bagrach míleatach. Caithfidh an tsíocháin a bheith i réim. The people of Ukraine have spent three long years resisting Russia's brutal invasion of their homeland. They have not given up on the dream of a future of peace, freedom and self-determination. Ireland will stand with Ukraine until that dream is realised. I hope and pray that a workable peace process is achievable in the near future and that we will not be back here to mark the fourth anniversary of the invasion, but that will require everyone with political influence and power stepping up to the mark and reaching for peace and justice. Ireland supports Ukraine in joining the EU, if that is the will of its people, and we will work to help secure a future of stability and prosperity. We must continue to choose to be a voice against war, militarisation, colonisation and the destructive mantra that might is right. We must continue to be a voice for peace, diplomacy, dialogue and international law. These, in the end, are the very values that guide our solidarity with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.
