Ar son gach uile Chomhalta den Teach seo, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur romhat, a Thaoisigh, ar ócáid do chéad aitheasc i Seanad Éireann mar Thaoiseach. Tá deis againn inniu an caidreamh idir tusa agus an Seanad, atá ann ón uair a d'fhreastal tú ar dhíospóireachtaí anseo mar Aire, a athnuachan agus dhaingniú.

On behalf of all the Members of the House I welcome you on the occasion of your first address to Seanad Éireann since you achieved the office of Taoiseach. We appreciate the fact that you have taken time out from your very busy schedule to be here today. I am sure that your time here this afternoon will be time well spent and that the discussion with Senators will help to inform your own perspectives on the many difficult issues which fall to be dealt with by you and your Government. Your presence in this Chamber will be seen by Senators as a mark of the respect that I know you have always had for this House. I am sure it will be the first of many such occasions.

I now invite An Taoiseach to address Seanad Éireann.
