Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Sula mbogfaimid ar aghaidh, cuirim, ar mo shon féin agus ar son Bhaill na Dála, céad míle fáilte roimh ambasadóir na Seapáine atá anseo agus roimh an triúr taidhleoirí atá in éindí leis.

Before proceeding with the next item of business, I offer, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann, a céad míle fáilte, a most sincere welcome, to the Japanese ambassador, H.E. Mr. Mitsuru Kitano, who is accompanied by three diplomats. They are all very welcome to Dáil Éireann. I hope they find their visit useful and enlightening.
