I thank the Taoiseach for his response. I ask the extent to which the earthquake and the survivors in Türkiye and Syria have been the focus of attention, with particular reference to the co-ordination of European rescue efforts and help and support to Türkiye and Syria at this very important time, given Türkiye's support for the EU and, in fact, previous anxiety to join the EU in an effort to cultivate and improve relations in that area, which might be helpful also on Türkiye's opposition to the admission of new countries to NATO.
