"As President of Ireland, may I congratulate the Irish senior rugby team on winning the Six Nations Championship.
I want to pay tribute to the players' resilience, skill and commitment, and wish the team, along with coach Joe Schmidt and IRFU President Philip Orr, the best of luck for next week's game in Twickenham.
In addition, I wish to thank all those who have played their part in bringing about this outstanding success – the families, volunteers and all those who supported the team to date."
