I ask Professor Tonra to approach the podium or desk. We went a little over time and I apologise to him for the delay. We are delighted to have him here. He has an excellent curriculum vitae from the school of politics and international relations in UCD. Most members will be aware of his work as it includes research, writing and teaching. I know that he has spent some time in Wales, Washington and other areas and he has tremendous experience in the area of international relations.

The format will consist of a presentation by Professor Tonra that will be followed by questions by members rather than statements. I call Professor Tonra to make his presentation. He is very welcome.
