Still, a proud moment and I feel very privileged to have been asked to represent so many fine – and more worthy – fellow Alumni at our 15th Anniversary at Dublin Castle in October 2009.

But I do wish I was taller and had prepared more. However at least now I realise when Mr Ryan entered stage left…you can tell I sensed something had changed vis a vis the seating during my speech by my confusion when I turned to sit back down. Almost ended up straddling his good self, Frank Kennedy and President MacAleese….now that would have been a way to close!
