Before calling the member for Warringah, and with fear and trepidation that I might affect Irish-Australian relationships in doing this straight after that question, I inform the House that we have present in the gallery this afternoon the Irish Minister for Transport, Mr Noel Dempsey, and the Irish Ambassador, His Excellency Mairtin O’Fainin. On behalf of the House I extend a very warm welcome to our visitors.

Honourable Members:

Hear, hear!
