Kerry GAA to flash the cash

[his holiness nb]

Oh god, here we go again!

and right on queue here come the usual suspects....

do you not think i have a point? the GAA are suing South Dublin CC for providing land for soccer only and on the same day they go to court announce a deal with Cork CC who are providing land for the GAA only!?! its a bit rich, and if Thomas Davis win, the FAI lawyers will have a field day.

Either the GAA has no idea what individual county boards are up to, in this case Dublin trying to block the same deal the Cork are announcing, or the GAA have not fully thought out the implications of the Tallaght case. Or both.

Someone in Jones Road needs to get control of stadia policy now.

Usual suspects? 
Well you have called me worse so I wont complain 
Pardon me for being annoyed at your highjacking Kerry GAA thread and turning in into a Shamrock Rovers argument.
I'm just frustrated as every time you start this the mods end up getting involved as you get nasty.

I wont indulge you in commenting on Rovers as its nothing to do with this thread.

On the Kerry stadium topic I'd say waste of money, they dont need it.

Any luck on the Gardai catching the keg throwers?

You're right, on to more productive things. Bit of a bummer about those Diamondbacks?

d backs were road kill. i'm a sox man myself

If the GAA will be recieving land via a CPO for the site, then the Tallaght issue becomes fundamental. If Thomas Davis win, and the precedent the GAA sought that public land being involved = multi sport, Munster Rugby just got a free ground. Rather than have a rational debate about this clear internal inconsistancy in our approach to local authorities, suing one to stop them doing something in Dublin and doing the same deal in Cork you just start whining because a mod took you to task over your behaviour.

I read at the time they arrested a half dozen people. What relevence is that to the debate in hand? Oh, yes another one of your infantile attempts to link me to the attack. Good man.

Jaysus - the way one thing can grow legs and morph in to something else.

Cannot see parallel with South Dublin CC case.

In Cork the City Council are acquiring the old Munster Showgrounds to facilitate a massive redevelopmentof the south docklands area including the sites of the former Fords and Dunlops factory sites. They are acquiring the entire landholding from the Munster Agricultural Society. Once acquired they are perfectly entitled to dispose of some of the land if they do not require it themselves.  This could be by public auction or by negotiation.

As to the question - do we need all these 50,000 capacity stadia?

IMO every county will want a top class home venue, even if it is only to entertain all the dubs venturing outside the pale on their travels to bogger land. There are without some counties for whom a stadium of 20-30,000 is probably loads but if these large stadia can be devloped without starving the grass roots of funding so be it.

Which the GAA are in the court saying SDCC cant do....

A mod took me to task over my behaviour
I believe they asked us both to stop argueing, so lets do them a favour eh?

If you want to discuss your crazy sugestion about me trying to link you to the Hill 16 pub incident (which is quite clear I didnt) either pm me or start a new thread and let these people discuss the title subject. And this thread is about Kerry not Cork, so dont try to say its fundamental.
