If work doesn't start soon they may forget about it.

Time is of the essence but there doesn't seem to be much of a push on for it.

As someone else said earlier, it's been a complete mess from the start.

Any idea what the €500 million refers to?

Yes, he referred to two different groups / lists of commitments - one was in relation to new / improved centres of excellence (with both Armagh and Monaghan getting a mention) and the other to GAA Stadium infrastructure projects - this latter list included Kerry, Tipp, Louth, Meath, Kildare and Antrim.

I don't think adding money to GAA grounds does the games much good. Pairc ui chaoimh is a great warning

You don't think Louth, Meath, Kildare and Antrim don't need a help financially??

They do not need tens of millions each.

Casement does need 10s of millions.

This is a circular issue. What sort of improvement levels does it need? does it need to be ready for the Euros ?

RTÉ doesn't have a business model and the Govt aren't going to give them much more than pocket money.

How do you square the fact that since old Genocide Joe came into Power the world has seen two new major conflicts in which he is stuck in the middle of?

Don't get me wrong, I think Trump is a total piece of shit and not fit to hold any office. I just think Biden is also a piece of shit and I take great offence that he tries to draw a link to Ireland as if he is some part of us.

Biden (or the US for that matter) had no hand act or part in starting either of those wars.

Once they started he had to take a side

Why does he have to take a side? What about the side of justice?
Arm a country committing genocide?
By the way it started long before last October.. but you know that.

He had long-standing strategic alliances that needed to be upheld

You would hope so. One of the biggest own goals in the history of own goals.

Irexit incoming? What would the vote be like for that? Controlling your own borders and having all shape bananas

Surely, when they look at the mess that's the UK's been in, anyone with half a brain would realise this is madness

Lets face it - the brits did it 'cos of da foreigners'

And the foreigners have never been spilling into the country quicker

Even the far right looney bins can see that?  No?

Not my cuppa, but they are a duo that definitely don't need RTÉ. There might be more of this down the line with 'talent' who are not as keen on the new boss man's controls...

A crowd of aul wimen in here.. Natter natter natter. My 3rd cousin thrice removed who is married to a chap who used to live down the road has a niece who knows someone who once had a lovely all inclusive week in Portugal, and they confirmed the players were tucked in by 10pm

Glad that's cleared up then!

The cheek of us, discussing rumours on a discussion forum!!

That fact of the matter is that Mickey and Horse got up to a bit of tomfoolery around the pool and some of the players assisted by a young pool attendant had to step in to settle things down.
Later that night Mickey was heard saying, "more like a wasp than a horse"....and the whole thing kicked off again.
From what I was told by a reliable eye witness (to someone else being told the story by a Portuguese taxi driver outside the airport in Faro) was that it was all just a bit of craic and it all settled down by the time they sobered up next morning. They had a good laugh about it over breakfast, but both were seen wearing sunglasses and horse was walking very gingerly for a couple of days.

Those are the facts, never to be questioned or doubted.
All other stories are false.
