“There is among [the people of Northern Ireland] a growing desire to change the present image of that area from a place where time never seemed to move, where old animosities are carefully fostered, and where bigotry and intolerance seem to be preserved as a way of life, to one in closer conformity to the spirit of the age.”
—Sean Lemass, as Taoiseach, in Arklow, 12/4/1964. The Irish Times, 15/1/1965.
