Before proceeding with business I wish on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a céad míle fáilte, a most sincere welcome to His Excellency, John Boehner, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and his congressional delegation: Representative Greg Walden, Representative John Shimkus, Representative Michael Simpson, Representative Mike Kelly, Representative Susan Brooks, Representative Ann Wagner and Representative Dan Lipinski.

I express the hope that you will find your visit enjoyable and successful and to our mutual benefit. It is a great pleasure to welcome you here. It is been a while since we had a delegation as distinguished as your good selves and we are delighted to welcome you to this Chamber.
