Yes we can - Inspirational message
From Belfast to Dublin and beyond, the Obamas have won the hearts and minds of the Irish people, north and south of the border. From the 6th century monastic site of Glendalough to Finnegan’s Pub in Dalkey, their visit has been warmly appreciated by the island.
It is remarkable that, in times of great cynicism, young people hung on their every word. Theirs was a simple but inspiring message — Irish people have the country’s future in their own hands and, as individuals, everybody has to take responsibility. The Obama visit bodes well for future relations between our countries.
