Dublin:
The Celtic Tiger Years

From J.F. Kennedy's speech to the Irish Oireachtas (Parliament) and subsequently mirrored in Berti Ahern's speech to the Houses of Parliament in Great Britain:

A great Irish poet once wrote: "I believe profoundly . . . in the future of Ireland . . . that this is an isle of destiny, that destiny will be glorious . . . and that when our hour is come....we will have something to give to the world." My friends: Ireland's hour has come. You have something to give to the world--and that is a future of peace with freedom.
