Ireland determined to succeed, says Kenny
The Fine Gael leader arrived in Manhattan yesterday after a couple of days in the midwest where he met officials in Chicago, including mayor Rahm Emanuel, as well as members of the Irish-American community before helping to lead the city’s parade on Saturday.
The Irish delegation then travelled to South Bend, Indiana, where Mr Kenny gave an address at Notre Dame University. He described his first visit to the storied Catholic institution as a “rare honour”, adding that he viewed it as one of the “great centres of faith and learning” in the US.
