No double standards here. We have our lunatics in Limerick too. Limerick were mandated to vote in favour in 2001 and voted 3-1 against. Limerick are also reconsidering their original decision to vote against perhaps with a little pressure from a gentleman with an interest in Man Utd and Limerick hurling. Same gentleman offered to bankroll a whole stadium if they'd allow in Football and rugby "thanks but no thanks" was the reply. So yes we have so absolute nutjobs in Limerick too as well as reasonable GAA folk. - throwing 17 yearolds out of a car halfway between Limerick and Ennis for playing for Fairview, organising and succeeding in cancelling a planned school halfday when realising it would allow the kids to see an Irish game on tv. Limerick will vote in favour although a few delegates may have weak bladders when it comes to the vote at congress.Originally Posted by Peadar
I do think Frank and to a less extent Con Murphy are special though. We had members of the Cork County board trying to outdo each other last time in their opposition - Dan hoare on about not letting them into the carpark and John Motherway talking about the spirit of 1916 etc etc. One of our travelling party to both Paris and Tel Aviv is a county board officer and they would no longer be a county board officer if Frank Murphy ever found out where they were. However he wouldn't even be aware of the games.
