What about the scoreboard?
Will there be three columns on it?

Will the sports results be read out like:
Offaly 5-2-17
Westmeath 1-1-6

I'm with Doon Massive on this one. We want the wristy flicks of yore...AND we also want to see timber dispensed. I'm never one to to have unrealistic expectations...but Regan will deliver all of this! Lone Shark... "Whose side are you on, son?" "Our side, sir." "MARINE!"...

The Joe Dooley video needed about 30 or 40 minutes of it left on the cutting room floor.
The introductions, music and long walks to the stage got tedious very quickly.

Skeletor Loughnane being on it was good though.

Nearest thing there is would be the Setanta review of Offaly's 1998 All Ireland winning campaign.
The Joe Dooley "This is your life" video would be somewhat relevent too.

I think Daithi Regan is just the man we're looking for. We lack steel at the moment. Back in the 90s we had the likes of Hanamy, Rigney, Martin, Duignan and Regan who could use timber effectively if an opponent tried to intimidate them. If Regan can harden up our squad, we'll become a team that comm...

Re: suggestions from turk for the interviews

Regan Weir John Byrne Brady Conneely Rigney Mannion Lads, I'd be only happy to do this interviews, dressed in a shark costume, provided I had an adequate budget for booze for myself and the interviewee, and if I was wired up with someone giving me the questions to ask in my ear. I presume that's Jo...

So we're all agreed. It's up to government (i.e. cabinet and junior ministers) to deal with the nationwide issues and act in the "National Interest". It's up to TDs to represent their constituency, highlight local problems/shortfalls and help ensure that the area they represent gets the co...

Not at all. The job of the county council is to administer the county. The job of the national TD's is to run the country, and govern in the best interests of the whole country.
If that's the case, would you have any objection if the constituency system was abolished and all TDs came from Dublin?

It's up to our local TD's to "look after" us.
That's the mandate on which we elect them.
If Fianna Fail thought they wouldn't get their 3 handy seats in Leix/Offaly, they'd invest more in the region.

Cowen delivers

Social welfare and child benefit increases...which should be welcome in Ferbane, Pullagh etc. First-time buyers of homes to the value of €317,500 will from now on be exempt from paying stamp duty...nice one. The stamp duty rates on houses up to €635,000 will be reduced...It still means a lot of folk...
