Order of Business
The Chair welcomed visitors, and Senator Chambers set out the day’s business, including the scheduled Bills and timings.
Before I call the Leader, I welcome Ann-Marie Ronan from Cork, who is here with her dad, I think. I met Ms Ronan earlier. They are very welcome to Leinster House. I hope they have a pleasant visit. I welcome our other guests this morning as well. Céad míle fáilte to everybody.
