Ted Nealon RIIP: Kneel On____

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under January 28:
Ted Nealon, 84, Irish journalist and politician, TD for Sligo–Leitrim (1981–1997).
His surname is an addition to the "Neil/Neal/Kneel" and the "Cryptic Phrases in Names" pattern-cluster re "kneel on".  This is phrase is particularly meaningful given my earlier post today regarding the word "set", a similar action word arriving on the heels of another recent notable death, Tarit Sett.

Note from Nealon's wiki page:
He served as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture from 1981 to 1982 in the Fine Gael–Labour Party government of the22nd Dáil 
Since twin numbers and especially 22 are a particular inner twin calling card, I consider this our next lead, not the following from the 22nd Dail wiki page:
Ceann Comhairle
Note the following from Ceann Comhairle's wiki page:
 The Ceann Comhairle of the 31st Dáil is Seán Barrett
His name Sean stands out-- an addition to the "John/Joanne/Jack/Jan/Sean..." pattern-cluster, where Sean is the Irish version of John.   Note the following from Sean's wiki page:
Seán Barrett (born 9 August 1944) 
It's not just the twin 44 in the year that has my attention, note the following re his birthday:

August 9 - is the 221st day of the year (222nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 144 days remaining until the end of the year.
Since 1944 was a leap year, Sean was born on the 222nd day of the year with 144 remaining. Note the etymology of his surname:
from the old French male given name Baraud, ultimately from the Germanic Ber(n)wald, composed of the elements "ber(n)", bear, plus "wald", rule. The latter is Anglo-Saxon having its origins in the old English Beornheard or the old German Bernhard, personal names composed of the elements "ber(n)", bear, plus "hard", brave, strong.

It definitely means something to me ... and goes hand in hand with the previous posts re "tar it set" and "stone spear", butt for now, I'll keep this one to myself because it is in the chapter of a book that I'm in the process of writing... and it wouldn't be fair to give it away ... not yet anyway.
