The visit included a trip to Brussels and th e European Commission, where Mr . Ray McSharry pu t in a brief appearance. Th e tour also covered th e European Court an d the Court o f Auditors, both o f which are situated in Luxembourg and then proceeded t o th e European Parliament in Strasbourg. Travel wa s by bu s an d proved quite tiring. However, the time was spent ingesting some o f the reams (or Reims?) o f informative docu- mentation obtained at each stop.
