I express my sympathy to the family of Brian Farrell on his death, including in particular David, whom a number of us got to know very well during the Constitutional Convention. I was in college with David. In terms of famous stories, the story about the route to the Dáil has been mentioned. It is up there with famous UCD stories. Probably the most famous question ever asked by a UCD student was "Is this a question?", and the answer was "Is this an answer?". Possibly the biggest irony is that the person who apparently gave the answer to Brian Farrell's questions about routes to the Dáil was the son of a prominent Deputy. Perhaps that says more about Irish politics than the question.
