I welcome a delegation from the Polish Embassy, which is led by H.E. Ms Anna Sochaska, ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Ireland. They are very welcome as it is Poland's Constitution Day. I congratulate the ambassador and the people of Poland on the great celebration of Poland's Constitution Day, which is celebrated on 3 May. The embassy held a celebration last night, with some Members of the House, and there will be a further celebration tonight. I welcome the ambassador and her team, which is comprised of Ms Agnieszka Skolimowska, deputy head of mission; Colonel Micha Sprengel, attaché of defence, military, sea and air to Ireland; Ms Magdalena Kosno-Kowalczyk, head of the administration and finance section; and Mr. Grzegorz Sala, first counsellor, head of consular section in the Polish Embassy. I thank them very much for being here and for the friendship, leadership and diplomacy shown by the embassy, led by H.E. Ms Anna Sochaska. I also thank the Polish people for the solidarity shown and welcome they have given to the people of Ukraine since the illegal war began. I thank the ambassador for being here and wish her well with the celebrations today.
