Before proceeding with our business today, on your behalf, colleagues, I should like to extend a most cordial welcome, a hearty céad míle fáilte, a hundred thousand welcomes to Dr. Egon Klepsch, President of the European Parliament, his lovely wife, Anita, and all the members of his entourage who are happily with us today. We wish them every success and happiness on this relatively short visit to Ireland.
