Cabinet Committees
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-23
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I welcome that the committee is due to meet on 7 March. At that meeting, does the Taoiseach expect a full discussion on contingency planning and an impact assessment on Ireland due to the potential for the escalation of conflict on the border of Ukraine?
The European Council is not due to meet again until after 24 or 25 March. Is there an appetite for, or does the Taoiseach believe there is a need for, an emergency meeting of the European Council and therefore an earlier emergency meeting of the Cabinet subcommittee?
