Teleprinter message from Éamon de Valera to all Heads of Missions
(No. 2110)
Dublin, 16 June 1951
On assuming the office of Taoiseach I wish to join with the Minister for External Affairs in sending personal good wishes to each of our representatives abroad. We know that in the future as in the past the state will benefit by the loyal and devoted service of our representatives in other countries. We will be glad of their valuable co-operation and assistance in carrying out the tasks that lie ahead of us, the chief of which is of course the re-unification of our country.
