To decide what?

What does that mean? Russia is giving them no chance. It is just bombing them.

That is weasel language.

It is classic, formulaic stuff from you.

I apologise.

Did you listen to my reply?

Why do you ignore it?

You distort everything. That is just stock in trade.

That is a separate matter. We dealt with it earlier. Come on. We are on Ukraine now.

This is about Ukraine.

I thank all the Deputies for raising those various issues. Deputy Brennan raised the key issue of Ukraine's accession process. Ukraine has responded very well to the framework that governs accession.

----- but you do not talk about Iran, about Russia or about all the others.

Again, the Ukrainian people have decided. They decided a long time ago that they want to belong. That is the other bit of language you used. You said that it is up to Ukraine to decide, as if there is an issue. Ukraine has decided on its self-determination. You guys have never been sympathetic to Ukraine, if the truth be told. That is the bottom line. Sinn Féin was with the People Before Profit-Solidarity in 2014 when Crimea was invaded. I read all the stuff, and the Sinn Féin line-----
