Madam, – Ninety-four years ago, the Republic declared its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government.

Only then will those charged with implementing that plan, our leaders, be able to reaffirm Pearse’s words with a semblance of conviction, 100 years on. – Yours, etc,
