John McGuinness (recorded as: An Leas-Cheann Comhairle)

Before the Minister responds, I have a message relating to distinguished guests in the Distinguished Guests Gallery. I welcome H.E Betty Escorcia Baquero, the Colombian ambassador; the deputy dead of mission, Carlos Padrón; third secretary, Sergio Ramírez; and economic officer, Carlos Jiménez. They are all very welcome and I hope they enjoy their morning at our debate. I thank them for visiting this House.
