Is there local radio in the 6 counties? Would they not cover the games?

Had the vote been held between 1993-2008, it would have easily passed. The mood has now shifted and it's not unlike Brexit or Trump's America where the people want a fantasy country back from the forces of liberal elite, media, WEF, EU, immigrants, whatever you're having yourself. Watch Brexiters in UK, Unionists, right wingers, Catholic Church cheer this result.The wordings were very weak. They ignored the Citizens Assembly . There was no pre legislative scrutiny in the Dail. The Government will now have to look seriously into disability respite and funding. It was a good day for democracy.
The family one was clear: "The State recognises the Family, whether founded on marriage or on other durable relationships" instead of "The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded."
That is some kick in the teeth to an unmarried mother who has worked hard all her life to raise her children. Even if wording was weak, it was still better than what we kept.
Define "durable relationships"
Define "Family"?
For most, any mother and child in a lasting relationship is a family. But in context of Irish constitution, it's a married mother and child. You know we once sent the unmarried mothers to homes, sold their babies, to keep up this fiction.
And so this attacking the "durable relationships" to mean Mohammed bringing in his 10 wives to Ireland when in real world over 40% of Irish children are born out of wedlock was shitty. And Irish people pleading ignorance - sure that could he Mohammed and his ten wives or the live in girlfriend claiming the farm.
Meaning is context dependent. In context of Irish constitution, it was clear what durable relationships meant.

Why did they try to hide the advice of the top legal mind in the country, which would have helped people make an informed decision?
Because just maybe the South is one of the most corrupt states on the planet?

That's just like voting green or orange in the North just to stick it to the other side.
No it's not like that at all. Michael McDowell for example is someone I've never agreed with a single thing he's said. Same for gript media. If they say No, I'm 99% it should be yes.

It is already damaging Starmer.The funny thing is the other side would be as bad or worse in both cases. If either had a set of balls or a shred of decency between them they'd take a proper stand.

I like Michelle but a lot of soundbites and cliches. And usual Sinn Fein thing of sitting on fence on issues.
Could you put a bit more meat on the bones of what you mean?
The housing for immigrants issue for one. Went way of on a tangent. Then said we'll hear what people say and decide.

It's not even near it in terms of fan interest, media interest and what it means to the players. Look at Clones last year for Armagh Derry vs the Mayo Galway league final.Quote from: Mario on February 05, 2024, 10:28:25 AMQuote from: yellowcard on February 05, 2024, 09:51:41 AMMayo and Derry both like greyhounds out of the traps in this years League campaign. However it's a long season and Mayo ultimately flattered to deceive during last years League.Derry have approached every league campaign like this for the past 3 years and have managed to keep it going deep into the championship. The GAA media seem obsessed about timing your run, usually as an excuse for the big counties losing. This team has been unbelievably consistent for 3 years now, so the only criticism left is to say we are trying to hard to win every game.
McFaul's best position is definitely at 6, it's a pity for him that McKinless is also so good at it and probably more dangerous as an attacking threat. McFaul very good at linking the play though.
I agree with you Estimator, some pressure on Scullion coming in to that game against a gale force wind with a packed Celtic park and very little experience in county football. He did very well in the circumstances and got most of his kick-outs off.
The big difference being that Derry needed to keep winning Leagu games to get promotion. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all to be winning League matches but it doesn't guarantee success later in the summer either. In fact I'd probably put a division one League title above a provincial title now that they have become diluted. It depends where a team is at in its development and a League title for Derry would be another staging post marked off enroute to trying to win Sam Maguire.
It doesn't generate the level of fan or media interest but it's arguable which is the greater achievement. Beating the top teams in the country and lifting a national title at HQ or winning 3 games in a knockout regional competition. I think the Ulster championship is unique and can understand how it might be considered more valued but it has still been greatly diminished by it no longer being linked to the AI series.
Certainly for the likes of Kerry or Dublin, winning a national league title is a far greater achievement than hoovering up easy provincial wins.
That's because the other teams in Leinster + Munster are an embarrassment, and roll over to both Kerry & Dub.
Ask McGuinness, McGeeney, Harte, Laverty etc if they'd rather win Ulster than their respective divisions.
Maybe one of the worst takes ever on this board. Look at Mayo, homecoming for both recent titles, only to do what Mayo do later in the year.
