That was a phrase coined by media people.

The OO doesn't support terrorists. 


No it gets the terrorists to support them.
Remeber one of the first Drumcree stand offs ....Orange Order leaders taking Billy Wright on a tour of the "field" .
Then lo and behold the cowardly sectarian murder of Ml McGoldrick.
And of course there was the 3 Quinn children.

Economist Colm McCarthy, who chaired the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes, told RTE they needed to tackle the big items of spending - health, education and social welfare.



Services on which economists and Dublin 4 types can afford not to  depend on.
No mention of cutting subventions to fcukin banks. >:(

It was done by an economist who had a team of I suspect like minded Dublin 4 types to draw it all up.

Mr McDaid,a Catholic, is beaten to death in Coleraine by a Loyalist(Protestant?) mob.
What do the local Unionist politicians say? Condemn ?,express sympathy ?
No it's .........
" Ahh but there were tricolours flying on the lamp posts in that Estate"

Talk about the need to get real . :-\
That's inaccurate and a misrepresentation.  Every unionist party and all Politicians who were asked clearly condemned the violence and tragic death of Kevin McDaid.  What some Politicians said was that there was ongoing sectarian tensions and trouble in the area for some weeks and that this wasn't just a squad of people going on the attack because of a football result.  


The Unionists were incapable of simply condemning the savage sectarian murder without implying it was the Nationalists fault for daring to display their National Flag.

Looking at some of the above suggests a report prepared by someone who spent their life in Dublin 4.  ::)

It's up to GAA people in the north to organise ...stop advertising on UTV and tell them why.
Organise a Court Action against the BBC ...a publicly funded organisation which does not give parity of esteem to 45% of it's funders.

Hope you are right, relegation makes no sense when you are trying to promote the game. Down should also be allowed to take part in the Leinster

In 10 years time you'd have 22 teams playing for the Liam in such a case.
How come Clare/Wexford/Offaly cant possible be relegated but it's OK for Laois /Dublin ?
Then of course Antrim are so special they cant possibly be relegated either.
THank God for nice uncomplicated football.  :D

For the record I have no problem with extreme Nationalists putting up a Statue to a republican leader of a previous era.
And to clarify ...I have no objection to them putting up statues to leaders/activists of later eras either. ;)

Since when was there a State called "The Irish Republic" ??? :o
