I thank the First Minister. It is a very historic and important day, so the leaders from each group have five minutes and we will then allow questions from as many Senators as possible, with the proviso that our guest of honour, Ms Nicola Sturgeon, will respond not later than 1 p.m. If Senators stick to their times, more people can come in. Fine Gael will be first with Senator James Reilly.
