Reopening Ireland (Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment): Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-26
============================================================

Damien English (FG), Meath West

That is difficult for a Meath man to say. It is easier, however, than saying it for Dublin. Good luck with all of that. I also wish the same to Tipperary, as I see Senator Ahearn across the Chamber. I could not leave him out. That was a truly historic day as well. This year, 2020, has been one of those mad years with all that has happened with Covid. I do not think anyone could have predicted the four football semi-finalists we have now. It complements the year. It is a nice throwback to history that the championship is where it was 100 years ago.
I note the clock states "6:00". Is that hours or minutes?
