I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy James Browne, to the House. Before we begin the debate, I welcome to the Public Gallery guests of Deputy Nolan from County Offaly. It gives me great pleasure to welcome one of my oldest and dearest friends from Cork, now living in Massachusetts, Dermot Luddy, and his family - Daniel and Aidan Luddy and Morgan and Michaela Gunning. They are here on a visit. They are very welcome to Leinster House. I hope they have a good visit to Dublin. I know they are heading back to the States tomorrow, so I thank them for being here today.
