I call Senator Paul Coghlan on any issue other than football.

It is good to know the production line is in good order, despite the forecasts and doubts of many, and that "Sam", for the 37th time, will be wintering in the kingdom. It is hard to beat old heads and new tricks.

Did the Senator ever play himself?

I did, imagine, but not for the county. Kieran Donaghy's comment was, "Well, Joe Brolly, what do you think of that?" That was on Sunday and we live to fight another day.

In the past few days many Senators will have received a number of e-mails. One of these was headed Gateway to Revenue - Your Fiscal Activity and informed Senators they were eligible for a tax return of €342.

They obviously knew the Senator very well.

I was disappointed. It was only for €342.87. Another e-mail was headed Revenue - Irish Tax and Customs and concerned the method to be used to receive tax refunds. The final e-mail was headed from the Revenue Commissioners and seemed to include its exact logo. It informed Senators they were no longer eligible to receive a tax refund but should fill out the enclosed form and return it. The Oireachtas has a very good service, Oireachtas mail quarantine, which protects us against receiving similar e-mails and allows them be deleted. I ask the Leader to ensure this excellent service is extended to e-mails like this because we are getting too many of them recently. We should be able to do something about this.
