I thank the ambassador. I am sure that members would like to ask a few questions. I will begin by asking the Spanish ambassador a couple. He mentioned that Spanish citizens living abroad had the ability to vote in European Parliament elections. Any Spanish citizen living in Ireland automatically has a right to vote in Ireland in European elections. Does this mean that Spanish citizens in EU member states outside Spain have two votes in the European elections? If so, has there been any discussion on this matter in Spain?
