What is recorded here
Ballacolla in County Laois is where Liam Hyland was born on 23 April 1933. That small place gave Ireland a man who spent more than twenty years in its chambers, moving from the Seanad to the Dáil and then to the European Parliament. He also served as Minister of State for agriculture and food, carrying the concerns of rural life into the highest rooms of power.
