Before I call Senator Currie, I welcome to the Public Gallery Mr. Jeremy Wilmshurst and Ms Ellen O'Donoghue from the British Embassy. They are very welcome and I thank them for being here. I thank, in particular, Mr. Wilmshurst for all his work.

I also welcome to Leinster House Ms Emma Walsh who has commenced interning, and perhaps also studying, with Senator Garret Ahearn. Emma is a politics student in DCU and is from Grange, County Tipperary. She is very welcome.
