We have been joined in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery by the speaker of the senate of the Czech Republic, Senator Petr Pithart, and a parliamentary delegation from the Czech Republic.
On my own behalf and on behalf of all my colleagues in Seanad Éireann I extend a very warm welcome to you and sincere good wishes for a very successful visit. I hope that you are enjoying your short stay with us and that you will take back with you to the Czech Republic many happy and pleasant memories of your time in Ireland.
