FERMOY ADAIR SCHOOL
PROCLAMATION
FOR A
NEW GENERATION
People of Ireland those who have been born in this country and those who have chosen to live in this country: We declare that Ireland is a place where people have the right to live in peace, to be happy and to celebrate; a place of freedom and justice governed by a democratically elected government which serves the people; a safe place where people have the right to be educated and to work; a place full of beautiful plants and wildlife; an historic, scenic place with a pleasant climate which attracts people to this land; a place where people are friendly and helpful, where they have an opportunity to enjoy good services with their families and friends in their homes and communities.
We acknowledge the contribution made by people in the past to gain our national freedom and sovereignty and we acknowledge the contribution that people today make in building the reputation of our nation at home and abroad. We acknowledge our President and all our ambassadors in politics, business and religion who build links between countries through worldwide outreach, through participation in the European Union, through UN Peace keeping missions, through charities and prayer. We acknowledge the contribution of our famous sports figures, artists, actors, writers, musicians and chefs who spread our culture and traditions throughout the world. And we acknowledge the contribution of the ordinary people of Ireland who share their smiles, their talents, their time and their money with other people every day.
We place our nation under the protection of God and we pray that working together, we will ensure that everybody in Ireland has access not only to the basics of respect, food and drink, clothing and shelter, but to better services with regard to water, health, housing, employment, transport and communications in a sustainable environment.
