A bit off topic but... Am I correct in saying that the father of actor Martin Short (Father of the bride, 3 Amigos etc) was a Cross man?

Puck, If I unsubscribe from our current health plan in work and seek my own through something like Cobra we're talking a couple of thousand dollars a month. Already with subsidized healthcare through my job, my contributions are close to $600 per month. We are a single income family with two kids and one more on the way.
If I was faced between choosing between my faith and my family - hand on heart I'd have to choose my faith. My family wouldn't have me otherwise.
That may seem like a ridiculous statement but I really would and my family would support my decision.
Iceman - I dont know if im reading this right - theres a lot going on in this thread.
Are you saying you would refuse the subsidized healthcare if there was an OPTION within the package for abortion etc?
And if so - if you had a sick child you would put that conviction ahead of them?
Sorry if this is an anti climax for you Pints.
Why don't you get involved intelligently in the conversation Pints instead of giving your play by play commentary.
QuoteRugby: Not only did Stephen Ferris escape any further punishment for his tackle on Ian Evans today, but the disciplinary panel that heard his case in London found a penalty should never have been awarded by referee Wayne Barnes, according to the Ireland management.
Ferris was yellow-carded for his tackle on the Welsh lock in the final minute of the Six Nations clash at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, a decision that led to Leigh Halfpenny kicking the match-winning penalty with seconds to spare.
The flanker was subsequently cited by Italian match commissioner Achille Reali, but cleared of any wrongdoing today and is free to face France in Paris on Saturday night...
For all the criticism the team received in the wake of the two-point defeat, it has been found the officials played a significant role in Ireland's demise on two occasions.
The first, the sin-binning of Bradley Davies for a recklessly dangerous dump tackle on Donnacha Ryan in the 65th minute, was also shown up to be bad call, not just by Barnes, but from touch judge Dave Pearson, who will referee Ireland's game in Paris this weekend.
Pearson intervened after the tackle and described what he saw to Barnes as a yellow card offence. However, prior to Ferris's hearing today Davies was banned for seven weeks by the panel, a sanction that was reduced by five weeks after taking Davies's admission of guilt, his previous good disciplinary record and his conduct at the hearing in into account.

An Spailpín is back on track (despite ludicrously suggesting the fragrant but dreadful claire Byrne for the Late Late Show) with a look at the usual annual story about the Heineken Cup affecting Gaa attendances.

God love him, you can never accuse Spailpín of trying to split the difference on any subject. His way will work, everything else will fail, e.g. Five Reason Why Sarah Palin Will Elect President John McCain. A lesser man would have waited to see if she was an utter dummy before saying the utter dummy wasn't an utter dummy

I don't think Billy Wright or Padraig Pearse compare in any way
I don't think the issue was with clubs named after previous generations of republicans such as Pearse (although it would probably be raised at some point) but more towards clubs named after more recent republicans, such as Kevin Lynches in Dungiven for example. You can make the connection with the likes of Kevin Lynch and Billy Wright as they were both part of the most recent Republican/Loyalist epsiode and you can therefore make the comparison that if there was a local soccer club, for example, called Billy Wright FC that it wouldn't exactly be the most welcoming club for Catholics.
At the same time I wouldn't fancy heading into Dungiven and trying to persuade a name change from Kevin Lynches to a suitable alternative, I'll leave that to Jim Allister. They'd welcome him with open arms...
I don't think there are any other clubs named after more recent (since 1916) Republicans.
