When I hear Deputy Danny Healy-Rae speaking, I am reminded of the great plays of John B. Keane. I think I am listening to the Hiker, I really do. It is beautiful to hear him. People were giving out about his voice the other night on a stupid television programme but it is liquid gold because one is brought right back into the great plays of John B. Keane because he speaks with such melody from his people and place. I just wanted to say that because he was maligned about it recently.
