I will interrupt before the Minister responds. On my behalf and on that of the Members of Dáil Éireann, I offer a céad míle fáilte and a most sincere welcome to his excellency, Professor Norbert Lammert, President of the Bundestag of the Federal Republic of Germany. He is very welcome. He is accompanied by Mr. Michael Grosse-Brömer and also the ambassador to Ireland, Matthias Höpfner, and their entourage. I express the hope that they will find their visit enjoyable, successful and to our mutual benefit. Willkommen in Irland.
