[Cousteau]: Thank you Ireland

Day 1,263, 12:40 Published in Ireland Switzerland by Jacques Cousteau
"Greetings, fellow citizens of Ireland.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that eIreland is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our legendary leaders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. Thank you to all of you who have supported, and voted for me. We made it. I am especially grateful to mirek12345, Bassy, Cun-Bo-Dawex and Meleculus. Also, I would like to congratulate to Marcus Suridius. Marcus fought long and hard in this campaign, and he has fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for eIreland that most of us cannot begin to imagine.



There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know the government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. We will organize public meeting weekly, where you will be able to share your opinion with us, with the government in the front of the public. After I saw the official result, I contacted personally the big majority of our new ministers at the IRC. I am absolutely sure they`ll will do a great job. Tomorrow our first governmental meeting will take place at the IRC. One thing is sure, we will be focusing on economic and foreign sector in May. Our Minister of Finance and Foreign Economic Policy Commissioner have got some very good ideas, and we`ll share these ideas with Dáil in the next days.
Ireland, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there's so much more to do.



And to all those who have wondered if eIrelands's beacon still burns as bright: tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals. I know that they`re are some folks who are disappointed. We were a bit disappointed too, last month. However, this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. Thank you again, and God bless Ireland. Thank you all very much.
Have a nice day.

Jacques Cousteau,
The President of Ireland
The Party President of the Irish Union Party
The ex-Minister of Immigration of Ireland
Teachta Dála for Cork. “
