Visit of French Delegation
Dail Éireann — 2026-07-14
============================================================

Verona Murphy (CC), Wexford

Before our next question, as colleagues can see, we have a number of guests in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. I hope you will all join with me in giving them a hearty céad míle fáilte. First, I am delighted, especially on Bastille Day, to welcome Mr. Michel Barnier, member of the National Assembly of France, former prime minister, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator and great friend of the Irish.
I also welcome the ambassador to Ireland, H.E. Céline Place. You are most welcome.
