- President Kennedy looks back at Ireland’s history and the progress it has made.
In his address to the Dáil, President Kennedy looks back at Irish history and speculates on what might have happened if Ireland had been independent when his great-grandfather left New Ross, Co. Wexford. He is proud to be the first American president to visit Ireland and talks about the enduring links between Ireland and the United States. He describes how Benjamin Franklin was received by the Irish parliament in 1772 and the support Ireland gave to the cause of American independence. He returns to a recurring theme of his visit, the history of Irish emigration to the United States.
President Kennedy then takes a look at the Ireland of 1963 and the progress it has made, how its nationhood is not an end but a beginning and how it has undergone an economic and industrial revolution. But he says that “prosperity is not enough. Free Ireland will not be satisfied with anything less than liberty”.
I am not Irish, but I am Roman Catholic and an American and feel proud of our fallen President Kennedy and pride in the contribution of Americans, like those of Irish decent.
He was not a Catholic.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kwyeah he was brother.
@@jordanbishop5146 He was openly anti-Christian.
I WAS VERY PRIVILEDGE TO SEE HIM WHEN HE VISITED MY HOMETOWN CORK CITY IRELAND 🇮🇪 IN JUNE 28TH 1963 A MASSIVE CROWD TURNED OUT TO GREET HIM HE WAS SMILING AND WAVING TO THE PEOPLE I WAS STANDING ON THE SOUTH MALL STREET CORK CITY WHEN HE PASSED BY HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO CITY HALL TO MEET THE LORD MAYOR OF CORK CITY SEAN CASEY AND OTHER DIGNITARIES THEN CAME THAT AWFUL DAY IN DALLAS TEXAS U S A FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22ND 1963 WHEN HE WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY A PERSON OR PERSONS ???? WHO ARE NOT WORTHY OF MENTION A SAD DAY FOR AMERICA 🇺🇸 AND THE WORLD J F K R I P AMEN ❤
As a Paddy who grew up in Dublin in the 80s, I know full well the extent of American friendship - Tip O'Neil for one among many. Thank you USA and thank you JFK. If only our world leaders were as educated now as they were before. We will never forget. Thank you USA
Kennedy was a complete disaster.
Every time I go to Ireland to visit where my great grandparents lived , I always hear about JFK ☘️🌹🙏. I thank my ancestors for handing down the faith . Ave Maria
Ireland is atheist and supports perversion.
The “irish Brigade” Kennedy spoke of was led by Thomas Maher whose statue stands proud in front of the state capitol in Helena, Montana. I’m a a Montana native but my soul roams free in Ireland.
well said mr Ryan
I am from ireland and every Irish granny had a picture of jfk in their living Room. Most of my top dna matches are in America
His death had an immeasurable impact on the way the world evolved since.
It really did…
Michael do you know his son is alive and well,JFK Jr
I love the Irish people. And there's a lot of reasons why. The fact that I am Scotch-Irish I promise had no persuasion or impact on my comment. A true Irish man never lies. He might embellish a little in the telling of the tale but never a lie
Well said Sir. Well said
Scots-Irish not Scotch, that's something you drink.
@@belltopcone well I said I was Irish. Scott scotch doesn't matter to me but it sure sounds better especially in a pint
My Grandpa was Irish and he told me he once saw a barn take flight.
@@finnkillen6554 so your grandpa like I is or was scotch Irish. A Scots Irish could never see and probably never believe a barn could take flight. But me has a Scotch Irish probably could have flown it. LOL I for one believe your grandfather, it would be unlikely an Irishman say something that is not so. Of course it took flight and bless his soul wherever he's at.
Being a proud Irish Catholic American watching this Great Irish Catholic American gave me a sense of how proud I am living in this Great country and how I know we can back to the values this Great man was setting way back. All 6 of my children are very aware of this great man!!!
Andy, Kennedy was not an Irish Catholic, tho some of his ancestors were. Also, his beliefs and policies were actually pro-British, in sharp contrast to his father.
@@johnnyoranges Of course JFK was an Irish Catholic...it can be debated whether or not he was a practicing Catholic.
It is true that JFK did not believe in appeasing Hitler like his Father Joe did. Joe allowed his children to develop their own political beliefs though made no bones about stating his own.
@@johnnypastrana6727 FFS Kennedy was an American. Why do you have to go thru this sentimental claiming of every second person of note as being one of you ? Is it a case of insecurity ? I mean, I've got an Irish name too, but so what ? I'm not Irish.
@@johnnyoranges He was Irish catholic American, both sides....Im from Ireland and interested in the Kennedys...My advice is to cease talking about things you know little about, it cant be good for your self esteem to make an ass of yourself like this.
@@johnmurphy7316 is talking thru his arse. Kennedy's great grandparents were originally from Ireland. However, him, his parents, and his grandparents were from the US. That is, American. AMERICAN. STFU with the Irish bollocks, which he only played up to in order to win stupid (Irish) American votes. Other presidents such as the idiot Biden do that too. It's a con to get your vote. Wake up !
Truly one of the greatest United States of America Presidents.
He was the worst after LBJ.
@@JamesHenderson-wk4hd you are most likely a wasp
@@JamesHenderson-wk4hdreasons?
He was a great man. 🇮🇪🇺🇲
Do you know his son is alive and well ❤
That's my great grandfather standing with JFK, the great Sean lemass
When I was young,I had a paper route. Went to all the neighbors homes once a week,to collect $. On almost every TV was a picture of this man. Next to him was a photo of Martin Luther King.☘️🥂🚬🇮🇪🖤
Brilliant JFK in a brilliant speech in beautiful inspiring Ireland
He was a warmonger.
The high art of this elegant speaker...
And today 😅
Today, fifty eight years after this speech was made, we as a nation are painfully aware of how close we have come to loosing our freedom and liberty 🗽. Let us never forget that as JFK said
“freedom is not free.”
Indeed. Well said.
In what way?
Liberty does not come from your demonic statue but from the Mother of God.
Irish who fight men's wars to enslave themselves are dupes.
Fight for St.Peter & Christ the Catholic King in a crusade.
@@Jotari It’s just you that doesn’t know.
The one and only time someone said something worth listening to in Leinster House.........
That is my grandfather Paddy Hogan Ceann Comhairle, he worked until his 80s
He wrote two books The Unmarried Daughter and short stories plus Camps on The Hearthstone.
His book The Unmarried Daughter was published in 1922 and was ahead of its time in raising social issues.
He was in the Labour party.
BRAVO! Dr. Marti Kennedy here.
Jack was just the coolest guy. 💖
Just saying I am glad to share Irish heritage on my Mother's side. The family name is Brinson. We also have Scottish and English heritage Berry from Fife and Edinburgh and Cartwright and Markham from England. I spent a wonderful few weeks in beautiful Ireland able to see and feel the history. 😍🤗💚
He was truly an inspirational speaker. I love his "we choose to go to the moon" speech at Rice University.
Kennedy, um verdadeiro estadista. Não falava apenas para o seu país e sim para o mundo.
♥️♥️
What a great man.
The world seemed like such a normal place back then
He seemed very passionate and emotional when reading his speech! I forgot what a great orator he was.
That's what being Irish is all about.
Best ever posted to RUclips. Thank you!
Thank you for uploading!! Where do you get this stuff?
Probably the last or only time apart from Sean Lemass a genuine , modern ,intelligent politician ,walked into the Fitzgeralds former home........
"Erin Go Bragh," JFK.
"For know you the one you mourn is not in that grave,
"It was an illusion, the son you love was not really dead...
"What you wept for was translated, pass'd from the grave,
"The winds favor'd and the sea sail'd it,
"And now with rosy and new blood,
"Moves to-day in a new country."
Old Ireland
Walt Whitman
Rest in peace President Kennedy.
beautiful!
I second what James wrote, beautiful!
One of our greatest Presidents---he is still missed!
A kingly gift indeed🙏 JFK was never afraid of anything
Brat, he was shit scared of Castro and Kruschev, who were both genuine tough guys and serious politicians, not a soy boy like the brat Kennedy. Both of them laughed at the boy, and rightly so, cos they knew he was just his Daddy's fart. They never laughed at Nixon.
@@johnnyoranges lay off the crack pipe
@@homunculusrex9396 What kind of an idiot name is that ? Don't hide behind insults. Try to debate me (if you dare).
@@johnnyoranges my 2 year old nephew was more intimidating than Nixon! A wife beating paranoid alcoholic. Get help bud, think you need it
Except the CIA
Sad he never returned again as he got killed so soon after:(
Deeply saddening......
My great grandad was there which is pretty cool
A lot cool!
I seem to have aquired the printed programme of this Dail sitting in my local recycle centre today!
My guess is that Biden probably watched this speech a few times. Words worth hearing and taking to heart now and forever.
Bidens a fooking clown
I doubt he had any faculty to take it to his heart.
Senile clown Joe would need his handlers to explain to him who JFK was.
President John F. Kennedy (in his own words).
As an adult looking back over the years, I can’t help but come away with an eerie sense of incongruity between the man I hear speaking (President Kennedy) versus the way he is often portrayed in the Mainstream Media.
In his speeches, Kennedy comes across as a man of great courage, conviction and intellect. A person who doesn’t seem to have a problem with truth telling. Yet, in the Mainstream Media, they tend characterize him as a man who has problems with indiscretion.
I recently re-watched the Zapruder film, and I noticed a different type of incongruity. Look at the film again for yourself. Notice how the film doesn’t actually show the first shot. You know, the shot in the neck. That’s because there was a rather large sign obstructing Zapruder’s field of vision. As the film continues and Kennedy’s limo passes the sign, then you notice right away that the President has already has raised his hands to his neck. Therefore, the first shot had to have been fired during the few seconds when the car was passing the sign. Then, a few seconds later, there’s the second shot that appears to come at an angle instead of head on like the first one.
These shots were separated by a matter of seconds. Surely, someone would have notice a shooter changing positions in order to take the second shot. What point am I trying to make you ask? Here it is: Looking back, I cannot accept the “history” surrounding President Kennedy. Specifically, what’s the real story behind the man, John F. Kennedy, and who was responsible for his murder and subsequent coverup?
For far too long, these questions and more have been pushed aside by people in government. Yes, by people who were supposed to be working and representing “all the people.” Americans must start taking responsibility, and accountability, for the individuals we “entrust” with enormous power. If we don’t demand it now, when will we? I’ll give my answer to that question. If we don’t demand it now, we’ll be asking/begging for it when it’s, too, late.
More conspiracy theory nonsense about JFK's murder. Trust me, if there had been a "conspiracy", it would have been uncovered long, long ago. There was none. Deal with it.
Kennedy was a disaster.
I love u so much JFK
Look how happy they are to see one of their own little Irish Catholic boys be the president of the United States.
50 years after an Irishman couldn't get a job in America we had the Presidency that's how far the Irish made it
“little” , how sad to be so petty.
Great Document ... 🤗 thank you very much from Spain... ☀️
Wow…so many such an amazing address… I remain proud of it to this day
I heard the first thing he said was.....WHERE IS THE SOVEREIGN SEAL?
Great man president Kennedy.
AWESOME!!!!
I just got goosebumps.
Ohh take me back to old Ireland 🇮🇪
Yes, no work, no money, no hope, your view of `Old Ireland` is pure Hollywood.
@@belltopcone still beats TF out of todays kip.

And no teleprompter lol 😂
If Collins had survived, Ireland's modernisation would have happened much earlier. De Valera was not really a great economic visionary.
Dev would have still been president collins wasn’t a politician he was a military man
@@f.b508 You don't know much about Collins then. He worked in the City of London. He was a practical person. Dev was a theoretical philosopher with his head in the irsh language, not the irish economy, where it should have been. By the 50s, Ireland was going nowhere.
@@f.b508 the big fella was actually not one bit military.
Hard to believe but true.
Yes
@@f.b508 He would been first Taoiseach

His accent sounds different to what I expected it to sound like. It's more British than American, or is it a Mid Atlantic accent like you hear in old movies?
@@johnmurphy7316 He was a Boston native? I've only ever heard one other person with an accent like it and he's a lecturer in my college who's also a Boston native. His accent sounds British with a bit of a twang
Than what you expected? I thought Kennedy was rather famous for this exact accent.
It seems to be a mid-Atlantic accent informed by his family and youth in New England as well as the influence of diplomatic London. I have never heard it outside of his family and other wealthy American familes of the 20th Century. The ultra rich were very clubby and formed an extended family for each other. I have never heard it in present-day New England and I have lived in Vermont for 28 years.
@@gregorykayne6054 Thank you for this information. Very fascinating that Kennedy's accent was common among the rich.
@@javiervalverde2374 Before the intercontinental jet started in 1958 the elite on the East Coast, trod a predictable path like elegant migratory birds. Many wintered in Palm Beach, FL. (President Kennedy's father had a mansion there). Other destinations included: The Philadelphia Main Line, Newport, Rhode Island and the South of France via the Queen Mary I
50 years after an Irishman couldn't get a job in America we had the Presidency that's how far the Irish made it
I think its worth mentioning that President Kennedy is accompanied into the Dail chamber by Ireland’s greatest ever Taoiseach, Sean Lemass.
Joe Biden’s speech in the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) brought me here. 🇮🇪🇺🇸

Unlike trump or modern day presidents,he really could visit any country….and have people eating out of the palm of his hand.
Trump was the closest any American President has to embodying the values of JFK - no unnecessary wars, no bowing down to the fake msm, going up against the military industrial complex, etc. While the coup in 1963 was written in JFK's blood, the coup in 2020 was done using equally devious means.
A few months later, he got assinated, by the American establishment.
Who are WASPs. 🤔
ya show no facts or evidence, only bias & supposition
Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
Obscene that we could fall from this to tRump!
Someone gave JFK bad American history to put in his speech ;). Fredericksburg was in December and in Virginia. Sharpsburg, Maryland (better known as the Battle of Antietam Creek) was at least in Maryland, in September (though not the thirteenth) and was the bloodiest single day of fighting in the Civil War.
God but that Ceann Comhairle was a first class brown noser😁
God bless that glorious Naval Hero and President.
Coming from 1960s America, The DAIL must have looked a stuffy institution filled with white hair and conservative minds.
Yeah the good auld days

Well Jysus I didn’t know he was Irish
So much missed in current politics today!
Fredericksburg Virginia. That's a gaff President Kennedy.
Per aquam et ignem....translated: we are the boys of Wexford. US Navy born.
Fun fact: in an effort to one-up JFK, QE2 knighted his brother Teddy, Sir Ossis of Liver
I remember when he went to Ireland. They wenr mental
What he didn't see was the snake s then .before it was to late..
Uhh. Fredericksburg, VIRGINIA perhaps. Not Maryland.
Many Irish fought for the South too
All traitors to the heart of their people who deserved every misery life gave them.

It was nice to have a president who didn't have to be led around by his wife or the Easter Bunny.

Not to worry lad, Brexshit will accelerate that liberty. I do believe we have tolerated this shite long enough. When they trigger article 16, we need a referendum on a united Ireland.

HAD HE LIVED IRELAND WOULD BE FRE TODAY
Ireland signed away its sovereignty to the EU.
I WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT HELP FROM THE IRISH PARLIMENT- .
WHO WOULDN'T ?? PWW
Between 1948 and 1973, Ireland actually was an independent, sovereign nation. That ended in 1973, when Ireland joined the EEC and began receiving laws from its new colonial master, Brussels.
During those years Ireland was actually a backward rural cesspit ...becoming part of the EU has brought it from the dark ages into the 21sr century
Susanna, the island of Ireland has never been a sovereign, independent nation with it's own recognized king and government. Or, if it has, tell me when.
@@johnnyoranges Before the english got there. And between 1948-1973.
@@susannamarker2582
1. 'Between 1948 and 1973' ?, OK. In that period, part of Ireland (Northern Ireland, sometimes called Ulster) was a province of the UK. Without going into the rights and wrongs of that situation, according to my passport, the UN, and so on and so forth, that is still the case.
2. 'Before the English came' ?
OK. 'The English got there' a few times, so you would need to give me precise dates as to when the island of Ireland had a solitary governing body (i.e. king, parliament and/or president) which was recognized throughout all of Ireland and/or throughout Europe/World. I'm asking for specifics here i.e. dates, names.
