| Notes | The speaker of the poem reflects on the question of racism in contemporary Ireland. A little girl, with darker skin than the other children, stands alone at the school gate while the others play together. The 'cead míle fáilte' (a hundred thousand welcomes) of the title is undoubtedly bitter in tone. |
