A nice little ramble on our hometown. Covered all corners, and a few characters in Galway. . . . And today elected president! Congratulations and well done. I'm sure you will do your city and country proud. It is good to have an honourable man in the position, to follow on from the two ladies who preceded you. Go éirigh leat.
