Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Kairi Künka, the Estonian ambassador to Ireland, to our Gallery. I welcome the ambassador and congratulate her and the people of Estonia on their national day, which we are celebrating today in the Oireachtas to commemorate the Estonian Declaration of Independence. She is six months in the job in Dublin.

I look forward, as Cathaoirleach, with Members of the House, in developing greater friendships and connectivity with her and Estonia. We hope she enjoys Dublin and finds her time here productive. When I asked the ambassador earlier whether she minded be in Dublin compared to New York, she said she was very thankful to be here.
