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 Lord Caine, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Northern Ireland Office, who is visiting Leinster House today to meet with the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and also the UK-Ireland Parliamentary Friendship Group. He is accompanied by His Excellency, Mr. Paul Johnston, the British Ambassador to Ireland, and officials from the British Embassy in Dublin and the Northern Ireland office. You are all very welcome to Dáil Éireann. We hope you have an enjoyable and fruitful visit, and discussions that are mutually beneficial.
