Both his speeches were well received by the audience. Below is the text of his speech from the Prime Time session. Yesterday was the anniversary of the proudest day in the life of a young man when he got elected to the national parliament of the country he loved. This young man found himself...
Image via WikipediaYes, Yet again I am impressed by a speech by Enda Kenny. It was overshadowed by someone elses speech though. The speech was given to commenerate the 90th Anniversary of the 1st Dáil. Four score and ten years ago, on the 21st of January, the men and women of the 1st Dáil met here in this room. Their meeting sent out a message of independence, of courage and of hope to the peoples of the world. That...

One by one the statements came out. IBEC condemned the budget. ISME condemned the budget. The...

I found it via the UUP page on facebook. The speech was excellent and will make me listen very carefully to...

On friday night in conversations with friends I was asked did I know did JFK speak in Cologne?. I said no, as I didn’t. Well he did and he used the words “Kolle Alaaf” which makes perfect sense compared to his “Ich bin ein Berliner”, I am a Jelly Donut. Here is the Remarks of JFK at the Rathaus in Cologne After Signing the Golden Book on June 23rd, 1963. Chancellor Adenauer, Lord Mayor, citizens of Cologne: It is...
