How to be Irish, how to be civil servant
In his first interview since becoming Taoiseach, Mr. Kenny has been asked about his views on the Irish government’s decision to allow the National Citizenship Day celebrations to continue.
He has not yet commented, but he has expressed support for the Government’s decision.
“We have to move forward and do what we think is best for the country,” he said.
“I think the celebration of National Citizenships, which was a big part of the Irish Revolution and of the Easter Rising, is important.
I don’t think we should be trying to rewrite history.
Mr. Taoisee said the Government had “committed to supporting the Irish Republic’s citizens to have the opportunity to celebrate the Republic’s founding.” “
In the meantime, I think the Government has a responsibility to respect the rights of the people and respect their sovereignty and I think that’s what they have done in this case.”
