Noel Grealish (IND), Galway West

I do not have a question on promised legislation. Instead, I welcome the Ukrainian students, who are pupils of Galway Community College, in the Visitors Gallery today. They asked their teacher Mr. Philip Cribbin if they could visit the Irish Parliament and asked me to read out a short note of thanks to the Irish Government and the Irish people for the heartwarming welcome they have received since they arrived here. Their message is as follows:
We would like to thank Galway Community College, the Irish government and its ... people for [the] warmth, support and hospitality we have received since we arrived [in Ireland]. When we return home we believe that what we have learnt and experienced in Ireland will help us create a positive new chapter in the history of Ukraine where we will work to rebuild our country's economy, infrastructure and our lives. A piece of our hearts will always be Irish. Slava Ukraini and Míle buíochas to the Irish people.
