Henry Shefflin’s sporting legacy

Summary

Senator Daly pays tribute to Henry Shefflin’s career and humorously celebrates Kerry’s hurling record before the Leader acknowledges the comments.

Perhaps the Leader would ask, when the debate is held on the report that is being suppressed by the HSE, that the Minister would attend the House in order that we can have a full, open and transparent debate on the contents of the unedited report.

I pay tribute to Henry Shefflin on his retirement. I am from a county which has not fallen to his masterful skills and can praise him fulsomely and wholly. We never lost an all-Ireland hurling final and have a clear track record of winning one out of one. We then retired and concentrated on football. Maybe some counties should do the same.

I appreciate those comments.

We have won the Christy Ring cup and other competitions. It will come as news to the Government that I want to thank and praise it and I ask the Leader to give me some indulgence in this regard.

Comment on this

The Leader has no say in it at all.
