There is a tendency at the moment to scoff at patriotism and I hear a little echo coming across the floor. Let us be serious about people. Kickham wrote extensively about the importance of community and he talked about doing things for the honour of the little village. Last night in Clonmel they were doing it for the honour of Clonmel. The Defence Forces have stood by this country through thick and thin and they have always been loyal. They went on peacekeeping missions abroad as well.
