‹ Order of Business Kerry independence proposal
Summary
Senators jokingly discuss whether Kerry should become independent, including its island status and possible effects on inter-county football.
In the opinion polls this morning, the question "Should Kerry go it alone?" has a strong majority in favour.
Comment on this
I know a very good man for president of Kerry.
Comment on this
I understand island status is already in place in Valentia, the Blasket Islands, the Skelligs and so on. Of course, we would miss Senators Ned O'Sullivan, Marie Moloney, Mark Daly and Senator Paul Coghlan himself. However, would the right side of this not be that the other 31 counties might win the Sam Maguire on the odd occasion? I wish Kerry the best of luck in its new status.
