Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. Kazumi Matsui, Mayor of Hiroshima
Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-23
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (CC), Labour Panel

I thank the mayor, Mr. Matsui, and all of his delegation for being here. I thank the Members of Seanad Éireann for their thoughtful contributions. I ask the mayor to communicate and tell the people of his great city that we are with them and will work together to bring peace and reconciliation on our island and on the world stage. We will work together to ensure the threat of nuclear weapons will be diminished for all time. I thank him again. I hope he enjoys the rest of his visit to Ireland, and we wish him every blessing, happiness and joy on his future work. As Senator Currie said, let us hope that many more cities join the initiative and that we all work together.
