"I encourage Americans of all faiths to walk together in such a spirit of reconciliation, rejecting violence in any form."

"We're grateful for the closeness of our historic heritage, just as we respect the proud independence of today's Ireland."

"The national government also has an important, but limited, role to play in the education system."

"I support a just and peaceful solution to the problems of Ireland and strongly condemn all acts of terrorism and violence."
