Jan O’Sullivan inspired by O’Connell

Canvassing in Limerick ahead of the election, Ms O’Sullivan said: “I would never compare with Paul O’Connell, I’m not of that giant stature I’m afraid.
“I suppose I’m a doughty fighter and I wouldn’t be bad in the front row if I was a little bit bigger. But I am happy to fight the battle like Paul did as a player and it will be a tough battle. The media and the betting people are saying that I will be in a very tough fight for the fourth seat and that Sinn Féin is the opposition.
