Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I join the Leas-Cheann Comhairle in offering a céad míle fáilte, or a hundred thousand welcomes, to our guests from South Africa on behalf of the Government. I have had the privilege to visit their country just once, when I was a board member of the World Anti-Doping Agency, and had a chance to visit Pretoria, Johannesburg and Pilanesberg, but I have never been to the Cape, Natal or other parts of South Africa. I am really looking forward to another visit there sometime in the future, and would very much welcome the president to Ireland should he wish to visit at some point in the future.
