My introduction to the President of Ireland’s speech
This is what I got to say at Patrick’s primary school today, introducing the President of Ireland before she gave her remarks in front of the kids and staff at the school:
Today is a very special day for the Dalkey School Project. As Chairperson of the Board of Management, it gives me great pleasure to welcome President McAleese to the school. The last time she visited the school was for the 25th birthday celebrations.
However, for many people here, this is their first time experiencing a Presidential visit; we look forward to hearing the President’s address. It is an honor for me to invite the President to speak.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese.

Presumably accompanied by chants of “HALF DAY! HALF DAY! HALF DAY!”.
