Everyone having a good old rant here. It's an East Leinster projest. Are we classed as East Leinster? Maybe there's a Midlands initiative coming down the line. Offaly, Carlow. Longford etc will be feeling the same way about this.

On another note how is the funding going for hurling that the GAA promised a couple of years back?

Then announce it at the same time - if there is such a project. Most counties are feeling unwanted these days, so why stir the pot and announce something which gets people's backs up -because they don't f**king care is why. Some jinnet obviously thought this was a good idea to go running to the press with. Great PR

There is no mid-Leinster project, and never will be. Because they will never fill Croke Park. The Leinster Council should be representing the twelve counties in the province and not a select (powerful) few.

I could be very wrong on this but did we not recieve a large portion of a million to go towards Hurling development and it was squandered. As someone has already said here we need some sort of business plan to get these funds. And we have already got a load of money from Leinster council to complete updates to OMP and a hefty sum to purchase the centre of excellance in the old portlaoise grounds. We hav'nt done too badly to date

Now they're going to revamp the football championship, by adding more games.....??

More evidence that its all about revenue, revenue, revenue for the GAA. These extra matches are only for the last eight. They don't give a damn about the weaker counties......or the clubs.

Large portion my hole.

Squandered? It was a mockery and given to the wrong people. Another stick to beat the smaller counties with.

I wouldn't give a penny to the county board but when cheddar and zoom begged for funds to fuel their play they were laughed at by pricks like Alan Milton. Never doubt Croke Parks ability to self preserve.
