On Sunday morning in Prague in front of the statue of the Czech hero Tomas Masaryk, President Barak Obama gave a sensational speech where he outlined US policy on the future of nuclear weapons in the 21st century.

The Irish Government made a commitment to the developing world and has now broken its promise. Do words mean nothing for the Irish Government?
