I also welcome Ambassador Nader on his return visit to Ireland. My son did an Erasmus programme in Austria a number of years ago and was made very welcome. I hope the ambassador is also receiving a warm welcome here. I also draw my colleagues' attention to the presence of Mr. Conor Dolphin in the Visitors Gallery. He is from Galway to do intern work with us and is very welcome.
