Tá scéala faighte agam ó Cheann Comhairimh Toghcháin an Uachtaráin á chur in iúl dom go ndearna sé, an 9 Samhain, 1976, a dhearbhú Dr. Patrick J. Hillery a bheith tofa mar Uachtarán ar Éirinn.
I have received a communication from the Presidential Returning Officer informing me that he had, on 9th November, 1976 declared Dr. Patrick J. Hillery to have been elected President of Ireland.
