Look, they’ve got the same speech writer:
“I believe that, for Ireland, this current crisis is the darkest hour before the dawn; that we have a generational lightness of soul; that in the long Hibernian nights on the western edge of Europe, we remembered the light that went before, imagined the light to come; that we are a people looking always and ever to the new possibilities of a new day. And that new day is here – a bright new day when there is no gap, when the people and their government are one again; a day when, for our people, united in our cause.
“Seamus Heaney says: ‘You have to try to make sense of what comes, remember everything and keep your head.’
We will. Now, together and for our country, let us believe in our future. For Ireland and for each other, let us lift up our heads, turn our faces to the sun, and as has already been said, hang out our brightest colours.”
Enda Kenny, speaking to the Dail this afternoon.
