As the war inflicted by the evil regime as Mr Putin continues in Ukraine, it's obvious from listening to contributors both from the Ukraine and other people associated with the Ukrainian government that there is an urgent need to continue humanitarian aid and financial support. I know the European Union has been very responsive as has our own government and Taoiseach, I think with European colleagues it needs to be, that particular help and assistance needs to be continued and I'd just like to take the opportunity to complement the schools and communities throughout the country and our local authorities as well, and the local development companies who have been very proactive in assisting refugees who have come to the different parts of our country throughout, different parts of our own country and where every assistance is being given to give those people the proper and well-deserved welcome they need. Thank you, Alaskan. land. Oh sure Zrost deputy Brendan Smith, um, there's absolutely an urgent need to continue with humanitarian aid, um, and I fully appreciate the efforts he's been made and and all those and, and in the house in terms of progressing this issue.
