I'm happy to put on a small bet the game will not throw at 5pm !

If the GAA want casual fans to go then it's a stupid time. I'll be there as always for a Roscommon game but I'll be watching something else before hand having a pint. Will 15k even attend the game ?

There was 30K at the game last year and it included the Dublin v Galway Leinster hurling game. There was a decent smattering of maroon around Croke Park that day.

Cawley was the man in the middle for the AI semi between Derry and Galway in 2022. Thought he was v harsh on Derry in the first half that day. Just hope he is anonymous on Saturday evening, but I'd doubt it.

If silly eejits want to be stuck watching fantasy games on TV instead of being out in the air watching real people playing our national games......
I know where I'll be from 3pm that afternoon.

At least, unlike last year, we'll have a big, enthusiastic Donegal crowd and a confident, motivated team!

There'll be nothing in this again. A point or three either way. Hopefully a calm, still day for our long range shooters!

Now I have a question for you, If your applicant has his/her finger prints taken and if they are put into the international criminal database and they come back as having no record of criminality on that database - Do you now consider that person to be "vetted"?

How do you thoroughly vet someone whose identity you can't verify (or someone who comes from a country where records may Be non existent).

Is it a good start-yes

But it is the bare minimum we should be doing.

I would say that they have passed a preliminary vetting

Sounds like it is not possible to vet people, doesnt it. I mean do you think someone escaping war in the Sudan for example will have their finger prints on an international database. There is no way to vet 100% people and when you get a group in you will get the normal distribution of good people (vast Majority) and bad people (small minority) just like you do in the general population. The issue is the racist far right want you to equate black faces with all being unvetted criminals.

I see you then had a dig at "NGO's" which seems to be another Far Right thing to do these days, despite those clowns not even knowing what NGOs are or do and how fcuked we would be as a country without them. Which ones have you and issue with or is it all of them?

Why wouldn't you want the authorities to make every effort to verify the identities of those entering the country and conduct rudimentary background checks using all available technologies including international criminal fingerprint databases?

Seems like a no brainer to me

Re the NGOs-the fact that any taxpayer funded entity have a financial incentive to act against the best interests of the taxpayer and the everyday working person is mind boggling to say the least

Debating with you is like debating with a 5 year old. Never answer questions, make statements (like above) trying to put words in my mouth, clearly i never said any such thing. I don't know why I bother. You're just a racist, it's as simple as that.

The govt and various NGOs said that people without ID had their fingerprints run through an international criminal database

That was false......and I'm a racist for pointing it out

My 17 year old said to me who thought it was a good idea to put that portal there. Do they not know the type of people who hang around there. Bonkers

They could put it anywhere and people would still act the ****. It's human nature. Could have it in ballsbridge and all the poshos would be coming out of the pubs and doing the same.

That said, corner of North Earl Street definitely a terrible location. Shocked it hasn't been vandalised yet.

Porn videos, images of the twin towers being hit, a woman mooning, kids giving the finger while their parents video and laugh... Not so sure that would happen everywhere.

I'm 99.8% confident it would happen anywhere. Rugby boys don't get their arse out? Horseplay! Kearn-age!

o
It may happen anywhere but its much more likely to happen there. I'm just surprised it hasn't been nicked yet, cosidering where it is.
