The ambassador did and I thank her for doing so. The timing of this meeting is important. That the ambassador was able to take the time to come here shows the work plan she has in place for the next six months. It is a great honour for any country to assume the role her country has assumed. It is a great time for Mrs. Breazu to be ambassador to Ireland. There are challenges, but, from a work perspective, it will be an exciting time. I am sure she and all those who work with her will rise to the challenge in the next five to six months. I thank her on behalf of the committee for being here. We always appreciate our engagements with her. She is excellent. We would like her to relay our best wishes to her country in holding the EU Presidence for the next six months.
