NSW Legislative Council Hansard Full Day Transcript Speaking as the Leader of her Majesty’s Government in this House, and as a former Leader of her Majesty’s loyal Opposition, I note that the seat beside the President is reserved for her Majesty the Queen, not for a republican President of Ireland. I have been told that the only other Irish leader to have been invited onto the floor of this Parliament was another great ambassador for Ireland, the late President Eamon de Valera, who visited Australia in 1948- although at that time he was Leader of the Opposition in the Irish Parliament. The new ambassadors will be spawned by the new, confident Ireland we see poised on the brink of the new millennium, a nation that respects its colourful and vibrant past, a nation that energetically celebrates the present, a nation that looks confidently forward to a peaceful and prosperous future. www.parliament.nsw.gov.au /prod/parlment/hanstrans.nsf/8f8ed4a61708506aca256e63000c480f/ca256d110020b6cd4a2566790058d3c0!OpenDocument   (16775 words)
