I thank my colleagues, the Members of this House and the international community, including the ambassadors representing Turkey, Korea, Cyprus, Singapore, the Vatican City, the Philippines, Jamaica, Colombia, Spain, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Chile, Croatia, Iceland, Portugal, Georgia, Norway, Indonesia, Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands, Australia, Estonia, Latvia, Israel, Greece, Lesotho, Brazil, Finland, New Zealand, Lithuania, Guatemala, Slovakia and Kenya who showed up to show solidarity with our Ukrainian friends and with the Ukrainian ambassador. I thank them all for turning up to support our coffee morning.

I contacted the Irish League of Credit Unions to see if it would be interested in partnering with the Irish Red Cross so that its community banking facilities could be used by people who may not necessarily want to donate online, for whatever reason, to the Irish Red Cross. Credit unions are the grassroots banks in our communities. I wanted to see if they would team up with the Irish Red Cross and they willingly got involved. That donation facility is being launched in more than 500 credit unions over the next week and that should bring in lots of money for the Red Cross. It is heartbreaking to hear the stories of what is happening on the ground in Ukraine and it is incumbent on all of us to do whatever we can. This is just the start of what I would like to do. I thank my colleagues for their support.

I thank Senator Keogan. On behalf of colleagues and everyone in the House, I warmly congratulate her on the wonderful initiative this morning, which was hugely successful. Ambassadors from all over the world attended, which has never been known to happen previously. It was a wonderful, very well organised event for a hugely important cause. Out of evil and bad, good can sometimes come and this event was an example of that. There is great unity among peoples now, forged for the wrong reasons. The people who met here today have a new-found unity and solidarity. Again, I congratulate Senator Keogan on her initiative.
