Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Before proceeding to the next item, I ask Members to join me in offering a warm céad míle fáilte to our colleagues from the Canadian Parliament. While the delegation to the country is led by James Maloney MP, today's visit to the House and Chamber is led by the Honourable Senator Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia of the Canada-Ireland Interparliamentary Group. They are here to meet their counterparts Deputies Stanton and O'Reilly and Senator Malcolm Byrne.

We hope they will find their visit to the country useful. It is a further stepping stone in consolidating the wonderful relationship that exists between this country and the great country that is Canada, a location of choice, I might add, for many young people seeking to sow their wild oats and experience living abroad for a while.

The delegation is very welcome. It is accompanied by Dave Kyffen and Jackie Ellis of the Canadian Embassy, and we all know how hard the Canadian Embassy works here in Dublin.
