Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

It is my distinct pleasure as Cathaoirleach to welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery members of the parliamentary delegation from Malaysia, who are visiting Ireland this week. They are led by His Excellency Mr. bin Abdul, who is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. I also welcome Malaysia's ambassador and thank him for his excellent work.

It is important the bilateral relations between Ireland and Malaysia continue to improve. I also welcome former members of the Parliament of Catalonia to the Public Gallery, led by the former President of the Parliament, Ms Núria de Gispert. I look forward to returning to Catalonia this summer to visit the wonderful city of Sitges, which is a great place in Spain.

Does the Cathaoirleach want someone to carry his bags?
