Before proceeding further I feel sure the House would wish to join with me in extending a most warm welcome to a distinguished visitor from the Indian Parliament, the Minister of State for External Affairs, His Excellency, Mr. Salman Khursheed. On your behalf I wish him well in his endeavours and trust his visit to us will be most fruitful and happy. On behalf of all Members of Dáil Éireann I extend to you and your entourage, Excellency, a most hearty céad míle fáilte — a hundred thousand welcomes.
