‹ Order of Business Congratulations to Cavan GAA president
Summary
Senators congratulate Aogán Ó Fearghail on his GAA presidency and recall Cavan’s sporting history and rivalry in Croke Park.
I congratulate Senator Diarmuid Wilson on the appointment of a Cavan man, Mr. Aogán Ó Fearghail, to the presidency of the GAA. When I spoke to the Thirty-two Counties president last year in Croke Park, I pointed out my first visit to Croke Park was to watch Cavan versus Cork in an all-Ireland semi-final. I offered a prize to the first person who could tell me what year it was. Cavan won, by the way.

My father who was from County Down told me to support the men in blue as against the men in red, as they were from Ulster.

We have trounced them in Croke Park since.
