Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Before proceeding to Leaders' Questions, I wish to share some good news with Members. The Convention Centre Dublin has been recognised as Europe's leading meetings and conference centre for 2020 at the 27th annual World Travel Awards. This is the fourth time this convention centre has won the award.

I am sure Members will recognise the significance of this achievement in such a challenging year for the sector and will join me in offering our congratulations to the board and staff of the centre, who continue to look after us so well during our sittings here. Is there any chance of the Dáil ever returning to Leinster House?
