"A Uachtaráin, is mór an onóir dom labhairt i mo theanga dhúchais anseo tráthnóna inniu. Ba mhaith buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil le rialtaisí uilig an Aontais Eorpaigh agus le Feisirí an tí seo as ucht a gcuid tacaíochta chun stádas oifigiúil oibre a bhaint amach don Ghaeilge. Tá cur chun cinn teangacha rí-thábhachtach ó thaobh forbairt iomlán a dhéanamh ar an Aontas Eorpach. Tá ceangal láidir idir éagsúlacht chultúir agus comhoibriú eacnamaíochta san Eoraip agus creidim, a Uachtaráin Borrell, gur éirigh leat an dá aidhm seo a bhaint amach le linn do théarma in oifig an Uachtaráin.
It is a great honour and privilege for me to speak
in my native tongue – for the first time within this Parliament. I thank you, Mr President, and your services in particular and also the patience and resilience of Mr Priestley and his staff in making this happen on this occasion. As we celebrate this historic occasion from an Irish perspective, we commemorate an even greater historic occasion with the inclusion of Romania and Bulgaria. I welcome my new colleagues as Members of Parliament, as equal, participating, voting and guiding Members of the European Parliament in 2007. I congratulate them on their efforts to ensure that they could meet the criteria set down by the European institutions for them to be part of this wonderful process of peace, prosperity and stability.
Mr President, at the Conference of Presidents I have made my views clear to you with regard to my thanks and appreciation to you for every assistance that you have given to me, to Ireland and to people from Ireland who required assistance at institutional level. Many of my colleagues have quoted different Spanish poets. I can merely quote an old Irish poet who said: ‘He came as a stranger and we saw fear, yet through his work, through his time, through his efforts, but most of all through his honesty, he became our friend and now we miss his passing, but most importantly of all, we walk in his footsteps for they lead us to greatness’."@en1
