From the school house to the White House

In his Boston College commencement speech Taoisach Enda Kenny said:

"The hands that were roughened in Irish soil were leathered in your mines, on your scaffolding, on your bridges and on your railroads.

The Taoiseach was welcomed to the ceremony, where he received an honorary Doctor of Laws, by Boston College president Fr William Leahy SJ.
