Order of Business
The Chair welcomed visitors, and the Leader outlined the day’s business: resumed Committee Stage of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill. The welcome was acknowledged and no other substantive matter had yet been raised.
Before I ask the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome some of his friends, Mary McDevitt Afflerback, her husband, Jerry Afflerback, their son, Reilly, and Cathy Goodwin, to the Gallery. I am sure the Leader will give them a fantastic tour and a great day in Leinster House. I hope they enjoy their stay in Ireland.

I thank the Cathaoirleach for welcoming Mary McDevitt Afflerback, her husband, Jerry Afflerback, their son, Reilly, and Cathy Goodwin. They are good friends of mine from the United States and are very welcome to the Gallery.
