Bit late now sure. Fair play tho.

Yea, good to see but very late. Should have been done last summer after they won it.

is that how long it takes for the council to make their minds up, shocking, it's only a token gesture at this stage and should have been done sooner as the other posters have said. still nice to get a walk round council chambers

think this is a waste of money. this is a 4th division all ireland title for the weakest teams in ireland with about 5-6 teams in it. money would be better spent on development of underage hurling . footballers winning Ulster was a bigger achievement

who said it wasn't an al ireland title ?

All i'm saying it's not a very important or hard one to win considering the level of competition

I'm sure there are plenty of people with all-ireland medals in donegal at different grades and sports but didn't get an token gesture from the council

If you think the hurlers winning the 4th tier cup is the same as winning the laim Mc Carthy well that says it all really

correct read my comment right

we are no kilkenny in donegal
The Hurlers have won the same as the footballers 1 all ireland title each

wee buns

correct me if i'm wrong but are you comparing the winning of an All-Ireland Senior Title to winning a div 4 cup with 5-6 teams in it. are you for real ?

my sister is a world champion irish dancer that's the same as when david villa won the world cup for spain in your eyes

How may were at the div 4 final max. 300-400 hundred, senior football 80,000, of course it's the same, lol

is it a FIFA medal she has got ?? all all ireland medals are the same !!

clutching at straws now wee buns, so you telling me now that Donegal hurlers are the same as kilkenny. ask anyone, who won the all ireland hurling final last year ? and apart from a few smart arses in donegal they will tell you it's kilkenny lol

It'd be a mean man to deny a county team their due after winning in their grade.
Those hurlers do a heavy amount of work, no less than any other team, and they do so without much support. Their achievement was fantastic for hurling in the county, and I hope you're not dead set against that. You might not think much of hurling in Dún na nGall, but with a bit of luck you will someday. The standard is gradually improving. Maybe you attended the Ulster Senior Football Championship Semi-Final last year and you might even have caught some of the U-21 hurling between Tír Eoghain and Dún na nGall which went to extra time. It was a fantastic game and the football crowd really got behind the two teams too. I'm primarily a football man myself, but on that day I had to admit that main feature wasn't of the same standard.

If you havn't before I'd recommend you to go out and watch a game if you have the time. If you catch a half of a local club game you might see that the boys put a lot of work into it, and they can play some good hurling too.

Thank you for supporting my argument by acknowledging that they played at the lowest grade

It's even better...no way David Villa would be good enough to win an Irish dancing world championship medal !
