My Dad said, what happens if we win the vote up here, but down south tells us to piss off with their vote, lol.

There would have to be less slagging of the Freestate then.

On this day, 100 years ago, the first live sports radio broadcast in Europe featureAll-Ireland Senior Hurling Semi-Final

Radio made a big contribution to the GAA in the following decades.

I was talking to a woman yesterday and she said she didn't like the GAA/Camogie/LGFA because of 2 things

The refusal to pay for a holiday for the Cork camogie team

Didn't listen to the membership on Allianz . Andy Moran refusrd to stand in front of an Allianz hoarding after the All Ireland.b

The Camogie association has limited resources. How many of those criticising them have paid into camogie games?

Is my algorithm broken or are there really that many racist gobshites on Irish social media these days? God forbid a brown person try to do something!

Empty vessels make the most noise,

Using there and their in the wrong context must be one of the most common grammatical errors. 😀😀

Some people are completely wreckless in their grammar.

Omagh 1998.

I think there was a football semi final on that weekend.

I remember  having radio 5 live on at the time , start of the new PL  season. Man U v Leicester, 2-2 draw. Beckham equalising in injury time. Strange the things that  stick with you.

Remember the report calling for  any medical people to  come to the hospitals to help with the  injured. First reports was  about 5 or 6 killed. Then as  the day wore on , the death toll  kept mounting.

I was watching BBC NI when the newsflash came on, and on a summer Saturday I would rarely have the TV on.
 

The fkn "Irish" Independent is at it already....
"50 best footballers of the best Championship ever"

By a Frank Roche who must be taking over from Breheny!

I can't read it thank God.

The paper comes out all year round, the GAA does not provide anything to talk about, so they fill the space.

Using blue for less precipitation is abominable.

I was thinking the same thing - a big day for people from Burtonport.

That's the French for you. Lisnaskea gets a mention too.

Predicted rain for the next week. Football counties look Irish, hurling counties mostly like Timbuktu.

Gerry Fitt and a few other early SDLP activists.

Micheal Martin

Hume?

Definitely not Hume, Gerry Fitt perhaps.

and the GAA developed with the benefits of free education. T

except among those put in charge of Casement Park.

Hopefully, like the Fleadh, lessons have been learned for the next time. 2090 gives time to prepare.

Are these all New Passporta or are renewals included in that figure.

It obviously includes renewals, over 90000 in Dublin in 6 months. Given that most passports are 10 years then that would imply most people in Dublin having one, which sounds about right.

Dublin would include Irish abroad renewing.

Does it? It would be a poor presentation of statistics to do this.
