The next matter for discussion is documentation facilities in the Library. Under that heading I should like to inform the committee that we are honoured today by two distinguished visitors who sought my permission to attend. I am very happy to have them here. Firstly I should like to introduce Mr. Dennis Corboy, Director of the Commission Office in Dublin. Mr. Corboy expressed the wish to attend today's meeting of the Committee and also informed me that his office would be happy to be of assistance to the Members of the Committee.
I feel sure that the Members of the committee will join with me in welcoming Mr. Corboy to this meeting. We warmly appreciate his kind offer to be of any assistance he can to us in his capacity as the Commission's representative in Dublin. I should also like to welcome, on behalf of the committee, the Information Officer in Ireland for the European Parliament, Mr. Joe Fahy. Mr. Fahy who recently took up this appointment also expressed a wish to attend this meeting to see how the committee works. He also has promised every co-operation to the committee in their work and will give all the assistance he can. On behalf of the committee I should like to express our appreciation to these individuals for their offer of co-operation and their attendance here today.
