Before proceeding further, I take the opportunity to welcome to Dáil Éireann our parliamentary colleagues from the Northern Ireland Assembly who are here with us this afternoon in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery. They are members of the Committee on Procedures and are led by their chairman, Mr. Conor Murphy, a member of the Legislative Assembly.
On my behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann I extend to you, Mr. Murphy, and the members of your delegation a most sincere welcome. I hope you will find your visit to be interesting, successful and to our mutual benefit.
