Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

There was an old defence in law, long abolished, that if a person was caught in a pub or hostelry more than three miles from home, he or she was a bona fide traveller. There is one man I will call next because he is a bona fide traveller; his home is the furthest from this House. It is against the rules somewhat but I will allow the Senator speak for a minute. I know he is facing surgery as well.
