Taoiseach Enda Kenny today addressed the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. The Taoiseach is in Washington as part of his St Patrick's Day programme in the United States, and will tomorrow attend the annual Shamrock Ceremony at the Whitehouse.
In his speech, the Taoiseach said:
It is the indomitable spirit of the Irish people that brings us all here today. The same spirit that has seen our people make and accept the huge sacrifices we’ve asked of them for the sake of a better more prosperous future for them and for their families. It is thanks to their patience, their dignity, their sacrifice that we are now on that better, more sustainable path.
