I’d say you knew my granny so. Gortlandroe isnt massive. She was a very holy woman. Was the schoolteacher in Naynagh for a hundred years. Drove a Morris minor and had a few apple trees in the garden.

I thought you might… what age were you?
That’s a misogynist question.

I did. He had a colorful political career, often battling with his fellow party man who was known to us as The Cardinal for the seat in TN. He was director of elections for Connacht Ulster in an European election one time and was seen as a dud. The fact that Sean Doherty failed to be elected may have given that opinion more legs.
The light of Heaven to him nonetheless.

No. Wrong jersey.
Part of the select Commissioner club though.
I’ve had a read through the tributes and there was a particularly fulsome one from a ‘wrong jersey’ former adversary in Tipperary North.
I saw it. I felt it had that balance between competition and respect that marks the great parliamentarians.
Eminently fair given that MoK hasn’t contested an election in the last 20 years.

An equally effusive tribute from his former party colleague from Roscrea. That was some local rivalry.
