Don Lydon (Fianna Fail)

It is a great honour to be in the presence of John Hume and I am privileged to contribute. Like many other Senators, I have known him for some time. I refer to his deep personal commitment. He has done a great deal of work while travelling to many places and his energy is phenomenal. He has travelled here, there and everywhere and I recall on one occasion asking him how he did it. He replied that he did not know where he was half the time and, if it was not for Pat, he would be lost because she arranged all the flights and tickets.
