Before proceeding with business, I wish on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a céad míle fáilte, a most sincere welcome, to our parliamentary colleagues from the Parliament of Australia who are here with us in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. They are led by Senator Alan Ferguson, Chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade. I hope they will find their visit enjoyable and successful and that it will be to our mutual benefit.
