Reflecting on the legacy of Seán Lemass.This quote says it all:.“I acted on the principle that the only way to avert mistakes was to do nothing. As I did not intend to do nothing,I discounted the mistakes in advance” #OnThisDay @fiannafailparty #SeánLemass50

John Hume was a champion of civil rights and peacemaker. He played a key role in the peace process and the Good Friday Agreement, recognised by him winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He made Ireland a better place and his legacy will live on forever. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
