Rónán Mullen (Independent)

Tá áthas orm gur árdaigh an Seanadóir Healy-Eames gach a bhfuil déanta ag ár n-Uachtarán le blianta anuas. Tá éacht déanta ag Máire agus Máirtín Mac Giolla Íosa. Tréaslaím le Micheál D. Ó hUigín agus guím áth mór air agus ar a bhean chéile ins na blianta atá romhainn. I recall an exchange some years ago where Ronald Reagan told Margaret Thatcher she was a hard act to follow, to which she replied, "You ain't seen nothing yet". Perhaps we have great days to look forward to under our new President. However, President Mary McAleese and her husband, Senator Martin McAleese, have done this country some service indeed, and they deserve all our thanks on her last day in office.
