I congratulate Deputy Lahart on his position as Chair of the committee. I look forward to working with him and all members of the committee of all parties and none in both Houses. I am genuinely excited to be part of this committee given the turbulence taking place in the world, Ireland's proud tradition and the challenges that face the country in terms of our foreign policy. This committee has a role to play in that. I look forward to working with everyone on this committee to try to further that over the next couple of years.
