Before proceeding with business, I wish on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a céad mile fáilte, a most sincere welcome, to His Excellency, Maroš Šefovi, Vice-President of the European Commission. The Commissioner is joined by officials travelling from Brussels and our friend Gerard Kiely, head of the European Commission office in Dublin. You are most welcome.
