I acknowledge the great privilege I have of being the convener of the Romania-Ireland inter-parliamentary friendship group, as referred to by the Cathaoirleach. Anyone who is not already a member of the group is more than welcome to join me and the rest of the team, which focuses on interparliamentary relations with the Romanian Parliament and the Romanian people.

I think I will take up your offer to join that group. I join you in extending a céad míle fáilte to both of the ambassadors who are in attendance today.
