Irish blessing presented to Mayor O'Connor by Sean O'Neill, 14 years old, which reads: 'May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.' This traditional blessing is an ancient Celtic prayer. Presented in 1992; occasion information was not provided to the City Clerk's office.
