Before proceeding with the Order of Business, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome to Dáil Éireann members of the committee for finance of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg who are here with us this morning in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. On my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann I wish to extend to the delegation a most sincere welcome to our country. I express the hope that you find your visit to Ireland to be interesting, successful and to our mutual benefit.
