Terry Brennan (Fine Gael)

The past weekend has been a momentous and historic one for Irish sports people from different walks of life. I congratulate Katie Taylor on the magnificent achievement of winning her fourth world title in Shanghai and wish her continued success in the forthcoming Olympic Games. I also congratulate my neighbours, Rob and Dave Kearney, who live just a couple of miles away from me and who played their part in the magnificent Heineken Cup final with Leinster. These young people are ambassadors for our country in all corners of the world and should be acknowledged for their achievements.
