Before proceeding with Question Time, Members of the House will wish to join with me in extending a warm welcome to the first official parliamentary delegation from the Republic of South Africa which is led by the Honourable Dr. Frene Ginwalla, M.P., Speaker of the National Assembly. Madam Speaker, we express the hope that your visit to Ireland will be a most happy and successful one for you and your esteemed delegation.
On my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann, I extend to you a sincere welcome to our shores.
