I support what my colleague, Senator O'Toole, said earlier. I am glad he brought to the attention of the House the centenary of the birth of the poet Paddy Kavanagh. He is somebody of whom we can all be proud. I have no doubt whatever that he will have a growing international reputation. I slightly dissent from what Senator O'Toole said about who I take to be Oliver Gogarty who was a former Member of this House. He was a fine poet, a talented doctor, a courageous supporter of democracy, but he did have an arrogant and bullying side.
