Ukraine and regional rail
Senator Carrigy supported Ukraine and the Holodomor motion, then responded to Senator Davitt by arguing investment must also reach Longford and broader regional development. After brief interjections, the Chair reminded Members it was the Order of Business, not a debate.
I welcome the Ukrainian Ambassador to the House and pledge my support for the motion. I wish to voice my personal support, and the support of all the Members, for President Zelenskyy. There is continuing support for Ukraine from Ireland.
I echo the comments of Senator Davitt, but I must remind him that all the commuter trains coming into Dublin actually start in County Longford, so any investment must be stretched out a little.

We need balanced regional development. We must ensure that everyone gets the funding.

It is the Order of Business, not a debate. Continue, Senator Carrigy.
