    Listening to the regurg-ebate on Matt Cooper and hearing Senator F. Healy-Eames, it occurred to me that,
    She failed to be elected 3 times
    Given a senatorial position when FG were trying to abolish the seanad
    Starred in her own version of trains, drains and automobiles
    Rejected by Renua
    What purpose does she serve other collect a salary, pension and expenses?
