I agree with Senator Kelly’s point on the bail laws. I understand the process relating to proposed legislation has begun but it probably does not go far enough. I join Senator Heffernan and others who paid tribute to Paul O’Connell. He is an iconic Irish sportsperson who hails from Munster. Paul O’Connell epitomises everything that is good about Munster, sport, rugby and Ireland. It is a pity that his international career ended with injury in Cardiff last weekend and that he will not get to see out the Rugby World Cup as captain of our great team. He is not only a great sportsman, Paul O’Connell is also a thorough gentleman. He comes to Lahinch in County Clare on a regular basis. Paul recently purchased a house in the area so I look forward to welcoming him to Lahinch on a much more regular basis, given that he might have a bit more time on his hands.
