Ba mhaith liom céad míle fáilte a chur roimh Uachtarán na Portaingéile, an tUasal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, atá inár measc inniu. Ina chomhluadar freisin tá an tOllamh João Gomes Cravinho, Aire Gnóthaí Eachtracha na Portaingéile, agus chomh maith le sin tá Ambasadóir na Portaingéile, an tUasal Bernardo Lucena. Before proceeding with our business, I wish on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a céad míle fáilte, a most sincere welcome, to the President of the Portuguese Republic, and I ask him to forgive my pronunciation, H.E. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. He is accompanied by Professor João Gomes Cravinho, the minister of foreign affairs of Portugal, the Portuguese ambassador to Ireland, H.E. Bernardo Lucena, and their delegation. They are very welcome to Dáil Éireann and I hope they will find the visit useful, despite the weather. Go raibh maith agaibh.
