I am sorry to interrupt the Minister of State, but I am sure he would like to join with me and Members of the House in welcoming His Excellency, Mr. Joachim Gauck, President of the Federal Republic of Germany. We wish you well on the remainder of your journey touring the west coast of Ireland. I am sure you will enjoy that.

I would like to be associated with the welcome to the President and delegation. I hope they enjoy their time in Ireland. They are very welcome.
