FINE GAEL senator Eugene Reganrevealed how his mother was the true holder of a Law Library record.
He said: "There is a nice photograph in The Irish Timestoday accompanying an article outlining how a Dublin mother of 10 from Stillorgan, Ms Ann Stapleton, was called to the Bar yesterday. "The article observes that this 'must be a first for the Law Library'.
"I congratulate Ms Stapleton on her achievement. However, since The Irish Timesis the paper of record, I must point out that my mother, Mary Regan, the mother of 13 children, qualified for the Bar in 1990 at the age of 75."
