		JOHN BRUTON: I think what has happened in the European Union is that we have been moving forward quickly with expanding the union admittedly by unanimous agreement from six members originally, now to twenty-five countries.
		JOHN BRUTON: In fact, France, by being part of the European Union, is able to play on a much larger stage, is able to influence the actions of 450 million people rather than just the actions of 50 million people.

		Bruton will also be disappointed to learn that America is not just big, which he seems to have grasped, but it is a nation unlike any other, a concept inimical to self-important bit players.
		In his first 10 months as ambassador, Bruton said, it had become clear that the United States behaved like a 19th-century sovereign state for which multilateralism was "an important tool, but only one of a number of tools," in contrast to EU countries that rarely acted without consultation with their neighbors.
		Bruton's remark is all the more ironic as bickering "multilateral" EU gropes its way toward a future located somewhere in the 19th century.

		If Bruton's appointment is confirmed by EU governments, as expected, the Irish parliamentarian will become the first ambassador to be head-hunted from outside the ranks of the Commission.
		Despite Bruton's close ties to the Beltway elite, it would be a mistake to paint the Fine Gael politician as an American cheerleader in the mould of British Prime Minister Tony Blair or Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi.
		Bruton, who will have 80 EU officials working under him in Washington, is not the sort of man likely to do an impromptu Irish jig on St. Patrick's Day or belt out Irish ballads over a pint of Guinness in a smoky pub.

		Benjamin Bruton is later documented south of Edgecombe County in Johnston County in 1747 and in later records for that area that became Dobbs County in 1759.
		The surprise is Jesse Bruton of Greene County, NC, who we have assumed was a descendant of the Brutons of Dobbs County, North Carolina.
		However, given the large number of Bruton families in Gloucestershire in the 1600s and early 1700s, it may still be possible that our Brutons have their origins there.

		Kilbride were having difficulty in getting the ball up the hill to their forwards and the pressure told just before half time as a slick move ended in a goal after a fine Emmet Farrell save rebounded to a Ballinabrackey forward who rattled the onion sack.
		John Smith and Paddy O'Neill were very industrious at the back, with John Bruton exerting a fair influence at Midfield.
