Order of Business
The Chair welcomed visitors, and the Leader outlined the day’s legislation and speaking limits for the Order of Business.
Before I call the Leader to outline the Order of Business I welcome from Wexford the Newtown aqua ladies club, who are guests of the Ceann Comhairle. They are in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery, as they should be.
