It is my distinct pleasure as Cathaoirleach to welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery members of the parliamentary delegation from Malaysia, who are visiting Ireland this week. They are led by His Excellency Mr. bin Abdul, who is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The delegates are welcome to Leinster House. I also welcome Malaysia's ambassador and thank him for his excellent work. I thank the delegates for their visit. It is important the bilateral relations between Ireland and Malaysia continue to improve. We share a great deal, including many areas of interest. Mutual co-operation is the way forward. Céad míle fáilte.
I also welcome former members of the Parliament of Catalonia to the Public Gallery, led by the former President of the Parliament, Ms Núria de Gispert. Buenos dias and céad míle fáilte. I thank them for being here. I look forward to returning to Catalonia this summer to visit the wonderful city of Sitges, which is a great place in Spain.
