On behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann, I welcome a delegation from the Russian Parliament, the Duma, led by Mr. Anton Morozov, a member of the international affairs committee and the convenor of the Duma's friendship group with the Houses of the Oireachtas. The delegation members will have a wide range of meetings in Leinster House and with Government representatives, as well as visits to Newgrange and to the Kerry Group. I thank Deputy Fergus O’Dowd, convenor on the Irish side, for his work in preparation for this visit. The delegation is most welcome to Leinster House. I hope the visit will be useful and beneficial. Tá fáilte romhaibh go dtí an Dáil. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh sult agus taitneamh as bhur turas anseo. Go raibh maith agaibh.
