and america certainly had an influence on the irish constitution, notably the supreme court and the doyle is actually described in the constitution as the house of representatives. support for an independent ireland was also strongly expressed by president john f. kennedy, the first of irish catholic descent on his morale boosting visit in 1963 to his ancestral home. at a time when american investment in ireland and tourism were becoming crucially important. during the northern ireland conflict, key irish american congressmen supported constitutional nationalism rather than republican violence. and later a president played a vital role in supporting paramilitary cease-fires and the good friday agreement. today, as we seek to protect the gains of the peace process and an open border for people and goods under the pressure of brexit, american support and understanding does help to keep the situation on the rails. of course, in today's world, there are many things competing to be kept on track, including representative democracy itself. thank you.
