I welcome our colleague and friend, former Senator and now Deputy, Ivana Bacik, leader of the Labour Party. She is joined by neighbours and friends of mine. It shows how small the world is. I welcome Maria Desmond, Henrietta McKervey and Yvonne Buckley. I grew up with Henrietta and Maria in Bishopstown. We were neighbours and friends. I welcome them to Leinster House and hope they have a nice visit.
