Before calling the next speaker, I am sure Members of the House will wish to join with me in welcoming the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Mr. Paul Murphy, MP, and His Excellency Stewart Eldon, the British ambassador to Ireland, and other members of the party who join us in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery.
On my own behalf and on behalf of my colleagues in Seanad Éireann, I extend a very warm welcome to you and sincere good wishes for a very successful visit.
