Brendan Griffin (FG), Kerry

I refer to the ongoing atrocious situation in Ukraine. I commend the Ceann Comhairle on his initiative in inviting President Zelenskyy to address the joint sitting of the Houses yesterday. It was a momentous and worthwhile occasion. Further to the remarks yesterday of President Zelenskyy, what additional leadership can Ireland show in respect of this situation? Will we be pushing for further sanctions against Russia to try to help bring this awful conflict to a conclusion? Will we be considering following the lead of Lithuania in terms of its expulsion of its Russian ambassador? Will we revisit that decision? Are there other measures, further to what we are already doing, that we, as a country, can take to try to help the people of Ukraine?
