Congratulations
by planetparker
While freedom of speech still exists (if only in theory) I’d like to use it to express my delight at the success in the Seanad elections of my friend David Norris. I am delighted that he will be joined there by outgoing senator Shane Ross and by newly-elected Ivana Bacik.
I am also very happy that my good friend Joe O’Reilly has also been elected. Joe has worked with tremendous energy and he really deserved to have been elected at the General Election. Beir bua a Sheosamh.
Another Cavan person was elected to the Upper House, but I will hold back on expressing my congratulations to him until such time as he makes the restaurant of which he is a partner fully accessible to people in wheel-chairs (such as myself). As I have said there are other restaurants in Cavan town which are accessible and which offer better value for money. I must also hold back my congratulations until he returns the books I once gave him on loan. Now I know the old adage about never lending a book or your wife to anyone, but one feels that if one cannot trust a member of the Upper House of the Oireachtas, who can be trusted?
