I note that all the other Members present are female. I welcome everyone. Chestit praznik means "happy holidays" in Bulgarian and 3 March marks the international date for the re-establishment of Bulgarian statehood from the Ottoman Empire in 1878. Last year marked the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Ireland and Bulgaria. Last year also marked the 100th anniversary of the death of the most famous Irishman in Bulgaria, Mr. James Bourchier from Bruff in County Limerick, who was a champion of Bulgarian national interests. He led its delegation to the negotiations on the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Along with his Irish counterpart, Mr. Seán T. O'Kelly, he was unsuccessful in his endeavours. In honour of his efforts, the country named a boulevard and metro station after him.

It even issued a series of stamps in honour of this Irishman. On behalf of the Seanad, I wish a happy liberation day to the people of Bulgaria, their ambassador, H.E. Mrs. Gergana Karadjova, and all the Bulgarians living in Ireland. We wish them a happy liberation day. Chestit praznik. I call the Leader, in her best Bulgarian please.
