Verona Murphy (recorded as: An Ceann Comhairle)

Before we take Leaders' Questions, it is not the norm but I ask that we welcome our visitors in the Visitors Gallery and the Distinguished Visitors Gallery, in particular Ciaran Staunton from the US and Karen McHugh, who are advocating for returning Irish emigrants, and Claregalway active retirement - welcome, ladies. I extend a very special welcome to our new Australian ambassador. Ambassador, you are very welcome. I hope you all enjoy the sitting.
