Big match ups upcoming

- David Clifford (Hampsey)
- Paudie Clifford
- Sean OShea

Not sure who is best placed to go onto the 2 lads as they play everywhere or maybe it will be a team effort. Kerry have plenty of threats but obviously these are key

At the other end it will be tempting to throw in McElholm as Kerry cut out any threats well in 2023

Add Gavin White to that list
Needs to be tracked

S O'Donnell- G White
Hampsey- D Clifford (Rory Brennan to double up if he wins ball)
P Teague- S O Shea
Cormac Quinn- P Clifford

Vested lands being returned to landowners according to Ulster Hearld

I would say that this Alternative A5 were through the application with a microscope looking for any avenues to challenge. That's why, I'd be concerned that should they satisfy the Climate controls issues. Would another case be lodged on a different issue. It's a delaying tactic to prevent this happening as long as possible. There should be a limit to the number of appeals that a group can lodge.

Very easy way to avoid that. Do it properly next time.

Exactly this and exactly this with the Casement debacle.

You get the impression with the Shinners and the SDLP they're so desperate to go back to their electorate with a "look what we've done" win that the fúck up the process each and every time.

Lets not kid ourselves, the biggest and best brains in Nationalism aren't exactly queuing up to go into politics.

To be fair to Shinners they would have very very little input into the process that is used and the operational elements of this which would be handled by DFI.

Think it says a lot more about the CS that a political party, though you point about the biggest brains probably applies to the CS as it does to political life.

Every department has a Minister obviously, where was the oversight ? That's quite literally the point of a Minister. 

Unless said Minister is Planning or Environmental Impact expert then they have literally zero chance of being across the detail of a project this size. The Minister is totally reliant on the CS departments below them to ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen.

DFI staff are supposed to be managing/overseeing the consultants who have been well paid to take care of securing the required statutory approvals for this project. Anyone know who the consultants on this project are?

From John Campbell BBC:

"Today's High Court judgement reminds us that the Planning Appeals Commission found that serial bungling by the Dept for Infrastructure has been central to A5 delays."

Repeated delays are due to a series of unforced errors by DFI.

They have given the landowners open goals to hit every time.

Blame lies squarely at the door of DFI. Serious incompetence

Going by the judges ruling the blame lies with the DFI

Another total shitshow from DFI
Total incompetence. To fail again is shocking. Surely questions must be asked of these people and their consultants?
They've had enough opportunities to get the paperwork in order

EBS have a free current account.

Yes would recommend EBS as well
No banking app but they do have a limited website

Cookstown will walk league and championship. Levels above the rest.

Cookstown streets ahead of anyone in Division 3. Have to be serious contenders for Ulster and All Ireland Junior honours?

Clogher spent 7 or 8 years in intermediate football but are streets behind cookstown who struggle to stay more than 1 year in it?

Cookstown would be favourites to win the championship due to their championship pedigree. But I'd put them slightly behind free scoring clogher when it comes to the league.

Cookstown in the driving seat now. Nobody in division 3 will touch them

Clogher would have to beat Cookstown by 4+ in the return game plus win every other game. Big Ask.

Good chance Cookstown will do the double and Clogher go automatically in second place

From talk at the Tyrone game today Cookstown have removed all but 2 players over the age of 30 from their senior WhatsApp group. Their youth is excelling and looks like they will be fast tracked through. Expect them to get out of junior sooner rather than later, will be interesting to see what sort of heights they can reach in the coming years.

Back to back promotions incoming.
Be in the senior championship draw for 2027

For the draw tomorrow what pairings are not permitted?

Is there another draw next Monday for full Quater finals?

McElholm was a miss off the bench what was the problem - celebrating?
