I welcome the students from Archbishop McHale College in County Galway who are in the Gallery. I am not sure whether you are in transition year, junior certificate, fifth year, sixth year, first year or second year. I hope you have a great visit.

You had a good win at the weekend, in fairness.
Yesterday was an auspicious day in Taipei, where the 16th president and the vice president of Taiwan were inaugurated. The fifth directly elected president of the country was inaugurated, President Lai Ching-te, and the vice president, Hsiao Bi-khim. I congratulate them and wish them well in their new term of office. It is important that we have great relationships with Taiwan. We wish them every success in their term in office.
