Lol we had a cracking night on Friday 65 club families battling it out. On the night we finished 10th considering the amount of refreshments that wasn't bad!

Hopefully it's a success and might join up next time

Conall and myself teamed up. 23/36. I'd like to thank Conall for his correct answer. Well done to Dunloys own famous quiz master himself  Vincent Rainey from Quiz Fortune.

Listened in on it, really enjoyed it. Laughed and some of the banter going on. Hopefully he'll keep that going

Well Delgany, alas I had looked at the Facebook site but this is for u6 to u12 and was posted in March. Does this mean that the rest of the kids can bore themselves to death or for for carry outs.
I also looked at twitter but the only activity I seen is that some Galefast coaches are cycling all over the county, at least they're keeping fit themselves during "furlough"

Honestly, give it up, its getting boring now. The place is in lockdown, clubs have told our kids to stay in for their health and to save lives. It's Gaelfast, built up Belfast where gardens are limited or not there.

Parks should be closed and kids not encouraged to go there or meet up with friends to do so. We'll just have to start again when it is safe to train.

Not all parents will be able to go for a kick about, not all parents are into playing GAA or have the time and not all parents available

What parents can not kick about with their kids for half an hour every day nowadays?  The vast vast majority can go out.

As for they're not all into the GAA...wtf...they're are going out for a kick about - not training for an All'Ireland Final.  They don't have to be a GAA Coaching Officer.

It's only half an hour per day - every parent has half an hour per day.  This excuse of not having time but they can spend 3 hours a night on the phone or watching Netflix.  Pure waffle.

Just go out and have a bit of craic - have a bit of fun, not running a drill.

Ok Marty so your Logic is let the unqualified parents have a kick about with the kids and let the 8 or 9 qualified specialists do nothing? surely the qualified and experienced coaches could keep the kids interested better? I see last gaelfast activites were posted in March - they must be on that paid leave Scheme or else leaving to the parents makes no sense

You know how the scheme works, once that kicks in you can't work, so any uploading of videos or carrying out work then you are in breach of the scheme and won't get paid!

Now with that explained tell me how you expect people who are effectively on partially paid 'leave' going to carry out their duties when they have been told they can't?

I wasn't aware they were in that scheme. That explains it then. Must have missed that announcement.

No, my point was somebody above mentioned parents don't have time or are not 'into' the GAA or are not available etc.

My response was to that statement.

I think the lockdown would have especially been targeted to that particular group when he GAA were the first organisation to come out with the lockdown of pitches and games/training

[BigBallWeeBall]

No one knows for sure if Gaelfast coaches are on "that paid leave scheme" , it's just an another assumption then.
Just to be clear : Businesses etc can furlough their workforce but do not have to put 100% of staff on the scheme. Eg Next retained warehouse staff on full pay but furloughed shop staff
I would hope that the GAA would not put employees on a UK / HMRC scheme to shut themselves down in Ireland - oxymoron or what.

[imtommygunn]

Did you not get the job? Jesus there is some cynicism from two boys on here about this gaelfast.

That last post is ridiculous. Don't take money from the brits. Just run yourself into the ground instead. Great idea.

The scheme is available in the south also. There's no assumption they are furloughed. Now get some sleep

ITG, your opinion but wind your neck in. Next thing will be the Shinners take up on the scheme.. Lol
The irony is that UK scheme closes GAA scheme when kids need it most. Have a laugh.

MR2, typical comedy answer, you suggested they were on the UK scheme. The UK and ROI schemes are quite different but as a know it all you are bound to know this. Please doze off

What is it you want a furloughed outfit to do? Spit it out please, they are 100% out of work and not allowed to work.

You're an embarrassment
