A good country doctor, an honourable and modest family man, an example to his fellow politicians and a President and Commander in Chief who quietly but effectively stood watch for the citizens of the Republic. He was the sort of person one should hope will always be selected as President of Ireland and was in office during most of my years in the Service.
