"All the dreams and prosperity in America and ireland are still stretched. If they say that the problem you (citizens of Ireland) is too large, your challenge is too great, that we should not try, think back to what we have achieved together. Remember, the difficulty that caused by the winter will be removed by summer that will surely come, "Obama said.
