So i get an extra €4 per week while someone on the dole gets an extra €5.
Can't understand why the dole is going up again. It should be cut as the country gets back on its feet.
The dole should be hard to live on not made easier, plus other entitlements

Hurling - Lyster, Mulcahy, Loughnane, Farrell
Gaelic - Lyster, Brolly, Spillane, O'Rourke
Rugby - McGurk, Hook, Pope

As someone who loves the GAA club and inter-county game equally, it's worrying to see the growing push to take more time off the club player by pushing back the All-Ireland's. Starting club championships in September would do irrepperable damage to the club game.

Counties upset about finishing sixth in division 1 would want to grow up. Teams that finish fourth in hurling round robin groups miss out on knockout stages but there's no whinging.
