Her acceptance speech was classic McAleese: informed, heartfelt, genuinely supportive and speaking as a president for all of the Irish people.
She will be a very tough act to follow. I hope the Irish public will keep her example in mind when they go to the polls to elect a new president on Friday.
With the support of her husband Martin, McAleese's presidential style was quietly self-effacing, so much so that it's startling to recognize how transformative it actually was.

What happened to all the previous posts. Well anyway I forgot to add that when the Gay group desecrated St. Patricks Cathedral by spitting out Communion and throwing condoms on the altar, an usher had a heart attack and died.

"Her acceptance speech was classic McAleese: informed, heartfelt, genuinely supportive".....................You do know that McAleese is a trained barrister who allowed crimes against humanity and treason against the Irish People.
