19. Bertie Ahern, speech made at a state reception in honour of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, Dublin Castle, 21 April 2001. Phyllis Gaffney has argued that the ‘public garden’ in which Mercier and Camier meet is reminiscent of St Stephen's Green in Dublin, where there is, if not a copper beech in Saint-Ruth's memory, at least an arch commemorating those Royal Dublin Fusiliers killed in foreign conflicts.
