Replying To Commodore: "I doubt she make any difference, in fact I would be willing to come in 1 year from now to review her results. We have Unions representing the Public Sector workers who fight to keep those inefficiencies, which FF/FG are afraid to fight, I have heard first hand about the red tape public sector admin workers face, warned not to colour outside the lines.
I would love to see what percentage of mortgage assisted house buyers in Ireland are public sector employees, or what percentage of couples include a Public Sector employee, because they tend to get mortages approved with greater ease. In fact anyone living in rural areas with lower end income levels would struggle to get approved for a mortage unless one of them are employed by a public sector department." The reason publicsector employees get mortgages is that there is way better job security than the private sector offers.

Has a Galway man ever captained the Irish rugby team?" Probably the best captain ever came from Galway..
You walked into that one Mayo man

Replying To jm25: "In your opinion" Stop will ya, GAA isn't for you if you think a league game against a third string Clare game equates to a county semi-final.

Loughmacrory into their first ever Tyrone championship final after beating their closest rivals Carrickmore by a single point. This game went down to the wire with the winners missing a penalty late on only to see Carrickmore scoring a penalty to go in front in injury time, but up steps Ruairi Mc Cullagh to land a 2 pointer from play. Brilliant.

Replying To yew_tree: "I should have added another "sport" that takes Mayo players away is economic reasons. Mayo as a county lost more of its population during the famine than any other county on the island and that's a fact. We also continue to lose thousands of young people to the far corners of Ireland and the world. Now of course every county has that problem but Mayo probably more than most." Is this a serious comment? The most impoverished part of Ireland in the famine, and post famine was rural Galway. More specifically Connemara. No county hurt more by the British caused pain
So why is Galway now a beacon of hope and economic activity for the west, the highest GDP outside of the pale? Post famine both counties had the same opportunity. Mayo moreso than Galway even. Yet you're here cribbing about economic opportunities while Galway takes in Mayo people by the bus load? Maybe look at Mayo and the failings involved

Replying To PressureKick: "Honestly, a big load of nonsense response culminated by this. A load of names nobody has ever heard of
Is it very hard for Mayo people to accept that it's a one sport county or something? If its not, and soccer, rugby, hurling etc are as popular as people are claiming, then why do we not hear these famous Mayo names
As already stated, Keith Higgins is the best example. His Galway father taught him hurling. He was a top class hurler with no option of playing too class hurling. He had the option of playing for Galway, and would've won that elusive all Ireland medal if he had, but was convinced to play his lesser sport of football. Of which he won no all Ireland
To say that Mayo don't benefit from the lack of outside pressure from other sports is throwing your fingers in the ear because you don't like the answer"
You say Mayo is a one sport county and then contradict yourself by mentioning Keith Higgins, he has spent his whole playing career playing both football and hurling for both county and club. So quite obviously football was never his sole focus

Replying To Doylerwex: "I honestly find your response hilarious.
Record overcrowding in hospitals, record homelessness and rough sleepers, railways closed, Garda stations closed, hospital services reduced, record number of kids without school or childcare spaces, I could go on and on" 25% population increase!
What "railways closed" last 25 years?
Have you figures for rough sleepers?
