@TomLyonsBiz Maybe Marty paid for it himself? Can we focus on the big stuff and not grudge a guy who gave up his time for free and who travels the country to cover GAA with no car allowance.

@MichaelWarbur17 The movie "Parkland" gives a very good account of the events from the hospital's emergency room's perspective. Just a caveat about point 4, maybe the ascendency happened in the hospital, but Lydon Johnson was sworn in on air force 1.

@RoryHearneGaffs @IrishTimes Comparing house prices in rural locations to a house in a commuter town near a capital city isn't a great comparison. There's plenty of cheap affordable housing in rural Ireland if you want it. The problem is most young people don't want to live there, as the jobs are in cities.

@BackpackerFI It's worth also considering that Nurses, doctors, teachers, police officers need to get paid. Schools and hospitals need to be built and maintained. Military needs to get funded. There 's a reason why you pay tax.

@born2bpaul @jaredwright17 Of the 8 substitutes, 7 are forwards and 1 back. It's risky cause if more than 1 back gets injured, you don't have a proper replacement. Its also a real statement of intent, and plays to S. Africa's strength. They have huge forwards that can out muscle most teams.
