The speech was up there with previous heavy-hitters from Enda such as his powerful speech on the Magdalene Laundries and his landmark speech on the Cloyne Report.
The latter criticised the Vatican for attempting to frustrate the inquiry into the rape of children to protect its power and reputation.
