Tá scéala faighte agam ó Cheann Comhairimh Toghcháin an Uachtaráin a chur in iúl dom go ndearna sé, an 1 Meitheamh 1973, a dhearbhú Erskine Childers a bheith tofa ina Uachtarán ar Éirinn.
I have received a communication from the Presidential Returning Officer informing me that he had, on 1st June, 1973, declared Erskine Childers to have been elected President of Ireland.
