I welcome Noel to his new role. In saying goodbye to Brian, however, we will be using his expertise in IT.

The slaughter of the poor unfortunate Jordanian pilot by ISIS was horrendous. Would the Chairman agree on behalf of the committee to send condolences to the Jordanian ambassador to Ireland and England? It was one of the most atrocious events to unfold that people claiming to be a state would execute a Jordanian in such a barbaric way. We know that Jordan is playing a blinder in the region by accommodating so many refugees. It is outrageous that this has happened to one of its citizens. Would the Chairman express our solidarity with Jordan to the Jordanian ambassador?
