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.
"Over the generations, our farmers-turned-labourers saw to it that their children went from the school-house and the fire-house right to the White House itself."
The Taoiseach was welcomed to the ceremony, where he received an honorary Doctor of Laws, by Boston College president Fr William Leahy SJ.
