I reiterate the welcome to the ambassador. I am delighted to see we are d'aon ghuth mar gheall ar seo. We are of one voice in taking the global call, which is to inspire people from every corner of the earth to embrace Nelson Mandela's values as they seek to improve their lives through service to their communities. They are values to which we would aspire and we are delighted to be in a position to celebrate on that day.
