Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I will give the House the benefit of my experience. I believe the western world was fortunate when Barack Obama became President of the United States of America. We are all expecting that he will bear fruit for all countries, but Ireland, in particular. I look forward to the day when he will be in County Offaly with the Taoiseach and the Cathaoirleach - three great Offaly men - which will happen during the lifetime of the Government.
