I welcome the Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs, Deputy Dara Murphy, and his officials to his first meeting of the new joint committee. I know the Minister of State is very familiar with the work of this committee and knows several members of it. We look forward to working together.
We know the importance of the upcoming negotiations for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union for all member states but especially for Ireland. I am sure members will appreciate an engagement with the Minister on his preparation for the negotiations.
I thank the Minister of State for attending today and we look forward to hearing what he has to say.
