Before I bring in the Minister of State, I welcome Deputy O'Connor to the Gallery. He is always very welcome to join us here in the Upper House. With him is a friend, Mario, whom I understand is originally from Romania and now living in Cork North-Central. He is also very welcome. Separate from sometimes being the Acting Chair, I am also the convener in this Parliament of the Ireland-Romania interparliamentary friendship group, so it is always nice to see visitors here and especially those from Romania. He is very welcome and I hope he has a very nice evening in Leinster House. I call the Minister of State.
