Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-16
============================================================

Verona Murphy (CC), Wexford

I thank the Taoiseach. Before moving on to Other Members' Questions, I, too, on behalf of the Oireachtas, extend a warm céad míle fáilte to Mr. James Maloney, MP, from the Canadian House of Commons, who is accompanied by his wife. James was instrumental in having a private members' motion adopted unanimously by the Canadian House of Commons in 2021 declaring March as Irish Heritage Month. Mr. Maloney is affectionately known as "the minister for Ireland". Welcome, and thank you very much.
There are other distinguished guests in the Gallery. We welcome members of the Knocklong Men's Shed. We also welcome Maureen and Elly, who are from Granagh and Templeglantine.
