I was wondering would this be brought up. Without pointing out the obvious, all of these permutations are very dependent upon us winning the upcoming group games against both Laois and Wexford. Let's do that first and then concentrate on how (or how not) to play the Anrtim game. Indeed for this conv...

To the administrator of the main page of this website:

Call me pedantic but perhaps it is time for both Rhode and Birr to be given credit for their annexation of senior titles in 2008.

I second that motion Archangel.

The following is a two sentence review:

Both teams poor.
Carlow were a lot worse.




(On a wider note, this division is worringly bad preparation for the Championship. Small mercies for the fact that when we meet Wexford on the 30th of May they will have had the exact same preparation.)

That bank would also be a lot freer with the business and mortgage lending than the ones we have. At this stage if we ...

Lone Shark you are right we will never know what the opposition would have done but we can most certainly judge tham on what they said. Again I refer to to the point that over the last 5 years much was said on the health service (and rightly so) but nothing was mentioned from either side of the hous...

Lone Shark, I believe in your story that you were alluding to the money that has been spent by the government on stabilising the financial institutions. You infer these as criminal decisions? I apologise if I misunderstod the metaphor but the resulting point still stands. The vast quantaties of publ...

Interesting piece ar an gClai. I agree completely with the paranoia surrounding the bankers and the financiers and the money that was earned over the last 15 years. Although largely driven by the media, it is a typical Irish response to begrudge and attempt to 'bring down a peg or two' those we perc...

What disappoints me most about the opposition parties is that, despite their protestations to the contrary, they consistently prove themselves to be nothing more than opposition for the sake of opposition. No matter what the government does or tries to do the opposition can be guaranteed to disagree...

Not once did I mention kids younger than 16 or 17 for this very reason. Of course young children do not have the capacity to vote but equall...

I second the motion for a mandatory 'Politics Test' for every voting citizen. The idealists would detest it but no matter.

Their grasp of the basics of the English language is so poor I can't make any sense of either post.

Excellent post Lone Shark and it raises a number of interesting points. Since I haven’t quite mastered the quote feature on this forum, for the sake of clarity I’ll attempt to deal with them in roughly the same order as they arose in your piece. The first issue is that of the electorate and the ques...

That's a very good point Lone Shark, all of Edenderry's woes (if they indeed exist at all, I am not familiar with the area) were not created in the last year. People had ample opportunity to show their displeasure, if they had any, in the vote booth. They did not. Now I'm sure the reason the majorit...
