Clann na nGael and St Brigid`s are set to unite in their opposition to bulldoze them into Leinster.

Effects parts of Pearses' too. Hard to imagine the Roscommon team without the Clann, Brigids and Pearses players. Along with Ros Gaels they're three of the big four in the county.

The GAA doesn't have to follow Council boundaries.
If it did Dublin would be split in 4, Cork and Galway in 2 and there would be 14 teams in Ulster.
So will we sacrifice Ballagh to keep the rich South if the Boundary change happens?

I cannot see how this can be passed. This is reaching beyond even hospital A&E levels of anger. Petition are being set from every corner of the county at this stage. Even the government is backing away from it by saying it's just 'recommendations'. Even the FF TD for Westmeath is opposed to it.

Hopkins made a total fool of herself at the last meeting by not saying she'd vote against the government if the boundary change came up. She could be fúcked unless the government get out in front and throw this recommendation into the Shannon. Cake's chances are increasing by the minute the longer this rumbles on. No way he'd be stupid enough to make the mistake Hopkins did.

There will be no decision before the Election.
27 Jan to make submissions, then the Committee or Advisory group or whatever have to consider the whole lot and report to the Minister who makes a decision.
I'm afraid the anger of loads of no account Rossies will be low in the factors influencing the decision.
If we elect Denisheen, Fitz and feckin Cake we can defo kiss goodbye to our territory

[Shrewdness]

There's no way that this proposal will ever succeed.

Far better than Hopkins who showed herself to just be another FG yes-man. Feighan in a dress. Agitation is the only way Roscommon's issues will ever be addressed.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that '' Senator'' John Kelly is staying very quiet about all of this.

It would only effect 50 people max in Pearses area and very small part of Brigids area is involved too. Of the area involved 85% would belong to Clann.

Straying into dangerous territory now Syfín.......
There's every chance this could go ahead - a new Minister in for a potential 5 years, a recommendation from a Commission/Committee(operating out of Westmeath CoCo HQ), no Govt TD or a backbench one from our Constituency with no influence .....
Time to get logical submissions in and remember 27 Jan is last date to get them in.
Meanwhile every FG and any Labour supporter in Ros need to bombard their party HQs on the issue.

They should really go the whole way and just split Roscommon up between each of its neighbours, all of them get a piece, perhaps leave Ros town as some kind of autonomous district on its own. Nobody would want the Hospital or the Hyde anyway.

Where there is an option the people turn their back on the poor Rossies. Athlone is Westmeath. Carrick also sitting on border is in lovely Leitrim. Ballinasloe Galway. Ballaghaderreen play in Mayo. Is there any other place on earth people turn their arse to?

If they are opposed to entering into Leinster maybe have a word with them about removing a Leinster town from their address.

The comments by Shannoncider should be removed. Typical of the lovely neighbours to kick us when we are down, particularly the Mayo ones. Croi nobody west or north of Gallows hill want anything to do with Westmeath. Although if we are to be annexed better Westmeath than Mayo.
