I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, and thank her for her ongoing efforts and hard work on behalf of the country at European level dealing with all of this subject matter. Like Deputy Durkan, I welcome the proposed enlargement of the European Union, which would be confined to North Macedonia and Albania. Is it correct that Albania is a member of NATO? By what name was North Macedonia known previously?
