Correction on Killarney mountain meitheal

Summary

Senator Coghlan corrects the record, clarifying that Killarney National Park mountain meitheal—not simply mountain meitheal—has undertaken the rhododendron-clearance work.

I, too, concur fully with the remarks made by Senators Bacik, Ó Murchú and others regarding the late Gerry Conlon, who suffered so much during his life as a result of a miscarriage of justice and who, on his release, did so much to uphold and support human rights and to campaign against miscarriages of justice.

A month or more ago, when I referred to the rhododendron infestation in Killarney National Park I named mountain meitheal.

I should, of course, have referred to Killarney National Park mountain meitheal, which has done and is continuing to do so much good clearance work, etc. down there. Apparently, another group has registered the mountain meitheal name. I was unaware of that. Killarney National Park mountain meitheal was the only mountain meitheal I knew of.

The Senator needs a meitheal detector.

Having received e-mails from some concerned citizens regarding the matter, I want to correct the record and clarify that I was referring to Killarney National Park mountain meitheal.
