Exploration of such matters is important and a lot of what Ireland is in a position to do is at a European level. As a lot of actions are being blocked by particular member states, such as Hungary and perhaps others in other circumstances, it is important that we continue to examine what actions Ireland can take by itself.
The Tánaiste has had communication and some work has been done on dual-use technologies that potentially - inadvertently - end up in the hands of Russia to be used as weaponry. It has been a while since there has been much discussion of this, but at the start of the conflict, there was some discussion on Russian companies using section 110 shell organisations to avoid sanctions. I think some action was taken to resolve that. Is the Tánaiste satisfied that to the best of his knowledge that issue has been entirely resolved and that no sanctions are being evaded in that manner?
