What would have seemed an impossible dream in 1989 when first I arrived as a member of the European Parliament now was a reality and by my side stood Lech Walesa ‘as a visible sign of the struggle for a united Europe.’
B’aisling dhodhéanta é in 1989 nuair a tháinig mé den chéad uair mar Fheisire de Pharlaimint na hEorpa ach bhí sé chun tarlú anois agus bhí Lech Wałęsa ina sheasamh in aice liom, ‘mar chomhartha infheicthe den dícheall ar son Eoraip a bheadh aontaithe.’
