Sometimes in politics we question our relevance. If any good comes from this, which can only be the decision to reinstate Connacht professional rugby in full, I hope this debate will have played a role. We represent the people who elected us, the ordinary people who, as someone once said, have their dinner in the middle of the day. They want us to raise these issues in the Houses. We are frequently chastised by the media for not raising issues of relevance to the people. If ever there was such an issue, this is it, on which we have heard a common voice bar one nasty intervention. That is the role the Seanad must play if it is to have any meaningful role in democracy.
