Be proud to be a decent American rather than a wanker whipping up fear.

Ireland has made its choice for the future and it has chosen the version of Irishness it will build. I know, and I will work with head and heart to be part of it with all of you in creating that future one in which all of us can be part of and part of us too.

Making an Irishness to be proud of in a real Republic. It is the vision of a real Republic where life and language, where ideals and experience have the ring of authenticity which we need now as we go forward.

We need to discuss the basis of a new form of trust built on a meaningful form of citizenship appropriate for a republic.

Be proud to be a decent American rather than a wanker whipping up fear.

I think even the poorest people in the great country that is the United States should be entitled to basic health care.

I am delighted with the strong vote I have received. My message of positive leadership, patriotism and commitment clearly was resonating with tens of thousands of ordinary Irish people.
