Terry Brennan (Fine Gael)

Is mór an onóir dom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire Stáit go dtí an Seanad inniu. I have been a sportsman all my life, having played Gaelic football for my county at minor and senior level and having captained my local football team, Cooley Kickhams, to win the senior championship in Louth. I also played soccer, tennis, badminton and golf in more recent years and am, perhaps, considered an all-round average sportsman. That said, I am disappointed I was not invited to play with the Oireachtas next weekend in Croke Park.
