It's a huge honour for us Maggie here, it's amazing.

Since we heard the story breaking about two years ago that he was going to be the Prime Minister in Canada, you know, and then the news came too that he had relations here, we said this is amazing, maybe this man might come back to our small village at some place, you know, and you're always dreaming about, you know, you've seen JFK back in New Ross way back and Obama.

and Ronnie Regan and then Joe Biden, you know, we said, this is amazing if it happens.

You know, and now it's happened, we can't believe it.

It's been great.

We've been, as you can see, we have the bunting up, we have the flags up.

The local community have been involved and backed up by Mayor County Council to get the place tidied up.

Although the place is very tidy anyway, it's because we're involved in the National Tidy Towns competition and we have won numerous honours in that over the last few years.

But the build-up has been great and everybody has been so accommodating and local bodies all coming together, you know.

We're really delighted like that.

He's, you know, coming to Dublin, but he seems to be heading straight for Westport and O'Haggar, like, you know, and

to think that he'll be walking in the footsteps of his ancestors from that little town and back to the village, you know, here where his ancestors, his grandparents would have come here, would have come into this village, into this shop and post office and done their business and now we're going to have him.
