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...

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.

Re: Gaelic Football Fundemental Flaw

A defender running towards an attacker is like a Dog chasing after a car....what are they going to do when they catch them? Shoulder charge as they are legally entitled to do if they get alongside them, or try and dispossess them when the attacker tries to either hop or solo the ball. An Ostrich li...
