- Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (15 Jun 2016)
Paul Coghlan: They employed some poetic licence, if I may say so. They said things about me. They made me sound like a Jack of all trades but, hopefully, not a master of none. Jerry joked about me - well, he did not joke. I believe I was at a function with him once and I must say he was a very pleasant dining companion, and I was very happy to accompany him.
