Before another row erupts I would like at this juncture to welcome a group of visitors in the Gallery from God's own country the parish of Muintir Bhaire, Durrus and Durrus Men's Shed.

Up to four months ago, I was somewhat oblivious and ignorant of the tremendous work that men's sheds do until they invited me to one of their meetings. It was an eye opener for me. I think they do tremendous work. They should be applauded for their camaraderie. I am not sure how they found their way up in this fine weather. I crossed the Goats Path, Cosan an Gahair, yesterday morning at 10.30 a.m. and I thought I was already in heaven, but I found out that I was not dead. The group are most welcome and I hope they enjoy their visit.

As a proud Cork man, may I welcome my fellow Corkonians to the Gallery.

Cork South-Central.

In keeping with the sporting theme, I know west Cork is supposed to be the home of football but if we have a couple of footballers in the Gallery we could do with them on Sunday week. The group is very welcome.
