DEAR Joe, Sorry we have not met since you left the Dail back in 2007 but I have followed your career closely. I regret we never had the chance to serve the nation together in the lower chamber. Nevertheless I enjoyed our short time shared as senators before you moved on to the dizzy heights of being a successful Fianna Fail Minister for Agriculture.

Since you left the Dail, you have proved there is life after politics.
