Senator enjoying life without need for alcohol

A Fianna Fáil senator has spoken of how he has battled with alcohol but is now in a better place and enjoying his life without drink.

Kerry senator Ned O’Sullivan, 64, says while he did not quite have to be dried out, he was drinking too much and found he was less effective at work because of it.

Mr O’Sullivan revealed to Radio Kerry’s Deirdre Walsh that he had made the decision to stop drinking at the start of this year because of the effect it was having on his health and his ability to do his work.
