“I believe that the quality of life in society, and the ultimate health of our communities, depends on the willingness of people to become involved and active. Active on behalf of themselves and their families, their communities and the more vulnerable members of society. Happy the society that has people who act, rather than lament; who organise rather than complain; who accept a personal responsibility rather than walk by on the other side” An Taoiseach
