Before calling on the Acting Leader to respond, I convey my best wishes to President-elect Donald Trump. I am somebody whose grandfather was an American citizen, with five sisters as American citizens.Many of my nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles and cousins have been successful after having to emigrate from Ireland to America. I hope the Irish diaspora will be to the fore of Mr. Trump's mind when he takes up office. Having said those words of congratulations to Mr. Trump, I ask the Acting Leader to respond.
