Vol. 292 No. 5

Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad

Before I ask the Deputy Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome H.E. Mrs. Kairi Künka, the Estonian ambassador to Ireland, to our Gallery. Tomorrow is Estonia’s national day. I welcome the ambassador and congratulate her and the people of Estonia on their national day, which we are celebrating today in the Oireachtas to commemorate the Estonian Declaration of Independence. Ambassador Künka is a new ambassador. She is six months in the job in Dublin. I thank her for her friendship. I look forward, as Cathaoirleach, with Members of the House, in developing greater friendships and connectivity with her and Estonia. I thank her for being her today. We hope she enjoys Dublin and finds her time here productive. When I asked the ambassador earlier whether she minded be in Dublin compared to New York, she said she was very thankful to be here. We thank her for those generous remarks. Go raibh míle maith agat. I wish her a happy national day.
