Before proceeding with Question Time today, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome to Dáil Éireann the Honorary Sandra Kelly, Minister for Industry, Trade and Technology in the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, who is here with us this afternoon in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery.
On my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann, I extend to you, Minister, a most sincere welcome to our country. I trust that your visit will further strengthen the ties of friendship and co-operation between Newfoundland and Labrador and Ireland.
