Before proceeding further, I take the opportunity to welcome to Dáil Éireann two members of the Justice and Home Affairs Committee of the Scottish Parliament who are here today in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery. On my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann I extend to you a most sincere welcome to our country. I express the hope that you will find your visit to Ireland to be interesting, successful and to our mutual benefit.
