Lofty words, maybe,
1:33:04
but what greater
inspiration could there be?

1:33:13
There is a life
in our country

1:33:15
that the majority
of people don't know about.

1:33:18
The judicial system has been
largely ineffective

1:33:20
in addressing the problem.
1:33:21
Politicians have not had
the will to change the system.

1:33:24
And the police have been
tied down by legislation

1:33:28
that in virtually every instance
favors the criminal.

1:33:32
What we're left with
is an underworld

1:33:36
protected by the very system
it seeks to corrupt.

1:33:39
So we have the godfathers
buying property,

1:33:42
drinking in the best bars,
holidaying in the finest locations,

1:33:45
exploiting the system
while a growing army

1:33:48
of young men, women,
even children,

1:33:50
walk around our housing projects
like survivors of some holocaust,

1:33:54
desperate for
the chemicals that will

1:33:56
keep them going
for just one more day.

1:33:58
And so, I am truly humbled
to receive this award

1:34:01
and I would like to thank two
very special people

1:34:03
who have encouraged me despite
1:34:05
and incredibly difficult
last 1 2 months,

1:34:08
and they are my husband, Tom,
and my son, Colum.

1:34:15
Because I can assure you
if they hadn't supported me

1:34:17
I wouldn't have got so far.
Thank you so much.

1:34:20
Thank you.
1:34:40
I have a fine to pay,
so I don't lose my license.

1:34:44
There is justice in the world.
1:34:46
I should be there in about
30, 40 minutes.

1:34:50
If you wait you can splash out
and buy me a posh lunch.

1:34:53
What?
1:34:55
A sandwich and a pint
at Culligan's?

1:34:57
Oh, Tom,
I am so impressed.

1:34:59
Bye.
