Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Engagement with Representatives from the European Commission (3 Mar 2022)

Paul Murphy: Most of my questions are about the Commissioner's area of responsibility but, seeing as the question of Ukraine and refugees has come up, if it is okay, I will ask a quick question about that.

Will the Commissioner confirm...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Engagement with Representatives from the European Commission (3 Mar 2022)
