Just got this text and thought I'd bring it to the attention of the board
J.P OBrien, 22, Nobber player,was paralysed from the neck down after an accident with cattle on the road. The farmer had no insurance. To raise funds for his 24/7 care, pls buy a J.P United jersey from J.P. United Jersey shop,Trimgate St, Navan-Beside The Central.

It is f**king appalling that a man is paralysed and will need 24/7 treatment and the farmer responsible for the cattle that caused the accident had no insurance.

Surely it wouldn't be that hard for the farmers orgs to set up an insurance scheme to cover this sort of liability .
