Before proceeding with business, I wish on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a céad míle fáilte, a most sincere welcome, to the Congressional delegation from the United States of America who join us in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery. The delegation is led by Congressman Jim Walsh.
I hope you find your visit enjoyable and successful and I have no doubt it will be to our mutual benefit.
