I am happy to add my name to the motion. I did not receive the e-mail. I have double checked and I did not receive it. I applaud the work of Ireland's top EU civil servant, Catherine Day, who has announced her retirement from the European Commission as of the end of August. She is an unsung hero for us as Irish citizens but also for the EU, particularly when she championed the enlargement of the EU and its role. I congratulate and welcome Alexander Italianer who will take up the position in August. I suggest that we invite Catherine Day to address the House. Perhaps that could be considered-----
