Only a money making machine if people are going over the limit?

I've been done many times with the cameras over the years, no excuse, speeding and wrong, do I blame the camera for being there? No that's all on me. Anyone that thinks they can speed 'safely' is crazy

If they put the average speed cameras on the road would it make it safer? Wouldn't know the stats on the accidents  in regards to speeding, carelessness, recklessness and so on, but in the meantime till its sorted it needs some attention.

What stage is it at with planning and at what point will they government say we've taken into considerations your issues of not having it but we are going ahead with it anyways?

Attended a few Ballymena games this year, and have to Tip my hat to Liam. He has them going well IN Div1 all be it its early, but obviously staying up is a huge priority for them and they are now in a position where theyve enough points to do so already id think. Though makes me wonder how we havent seen these level of performances in Intermediate. If they hadnt of played so negatively throughout the first few years of his tenure i think they would have an Intermediate under their belt

At least they have the speed cameras out this morning to rectify the issue 

This is the issue. The police try to do something to help in the short term and people come out with stuff like this.

Was on the A5 yesterday, they had their usual speed camera out at Magheramason just before the over taking lane after the village

Well the one out yesterday at Magheramason just outside the village before the over taking lane is a money making machine, and is doing nothing to curb speeding on the dangerous parts of the a5 where it should be

Make Dublin a Province with 4 County Boards and 4 County teams.

I mean that's what the Dublin county board wanted a few years back - to treat Dublin as a separate province.

The GAA just messed it up by giving them more money than any of the other provinces.

There is too much focus on money. Dublin may well be the place to spend money as missionary work is needed by the GAA, the point is though that money spent on the grassroots should not be allowed distort national competitions at club or county level.

I'm pretty sure Castlewellan has been used recently, definitely has in the past.
