During the Order of Business in the Dáil yesterday they had a visitor. The Ceann Comhairle welcomed him.

Before proceeding with business I wish on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann to offer a cead mile fáilte, a most sincere welcome to His Excellency, Mr. Ja Song Nam, Ambassador to Ireland from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. I express the hope that you will enjoy your visit and that it will be successful and of mutual benefit.

Also yesterday North Korea attacked South Korea. It has one of the worst human rights records of any nation.

Michael Woods TD escorted Mr. Ja Song Nam through the house and the deputies present welcomed him.

I’d love to be making this stuff up but no it happened in the Dáil yesterday.
