Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The people of the United States have made a democratic decision. By their votes at the ballot box, by the popular vote and the college vote, they chose to elect Donald Trump to be President. I recall a comment I made in the Dáil when I believe I was asked by Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett if I would agree that comments made in the heat of battle in a primary by the President-elect before he was nominated as a candidate were racists and dangerous and I said "Yes." I listened very carefully to the President-elect this morning and the first thing he said was that it was time to heal wounds, build partnerships and work constructively with all the people of the United States and with every other country that wanted to work with him. I have a difference of opinion with Deputy Ruth Coppinger, but in the democratic sense I was happy to congratulate her when she was returned to this House in a democracy that allowed her to say what she has just said. That is absolutely her right.
