Before calling on the Minister of State I wish on my behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a céad míle fáilte, a most sincere welcome, to the members of the new media developments sub-committee of the committee on culture and media of the German Parliament who are here with us in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. I express the hope that you will find your visit enjoyable, successful and to our mutual benefit.
