The President said, "A manifest sense of confidence, direction and purpose has developed in Northern Ireland over recent years. Tonight's Titanic Quarter venue is a very tangible example of this transformation and there are many others. Developments of this kind amply demonstrate the vision and energy of the people of Northern Ireland and their determination to shape a positive future for all. We all know more work needs to be done in consolidating this shared society and that there is no room for complacency."
