Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the Government has been very actively considering the country's response to the unfolding crisis and the consequences of that crisis. That is across a whole range of areas, some of which I outlined in terms of our humanitarian response. Suffice it to say that the impact of the war will be very serious and significant for all nations across the European Continent and it will be a long haul in terms of our response to it. What we would normally do in normal times will no longer be the approach we need to take as a society. We will have to look outside the norm and outside the box in dealing with this crisis. That applies to the specific issue the Deputy raised as well as other issues. As I have said in reply to her, the Government is keeping this under very active consideration and will be responding once that process of consideration is concluded.
