The republicans bascially want to close the borders altogether and this could spell bad news for the thousands for illegal Irish who have lived there for years.

illegal immigrants are not desirable anywhere

Yes. Also in the modern Pentathlon on the last day.

Eddie Macken was one of Longford's and Ireland's best ever international sportsmen

yeah i like the swimming just i feel there are too many events is all...and certain sports ormond you must admit not necessarily rugby as theyv done great work to make it open for everybody in recent years but horses is most certainly a wealthy persons sport purely due to the amount of money it costs to compete in it

Maybe its something to do with me having been a competitive swimmer for 11 years and know all the ins and outs of all the events i dont think there is too many events at all. As i said already freestyle is the only stroke that has more than 2 races, then there is the medleys and then the freestyle and medley relays
yes many people who have done well at the top in equestrian were/are quite wealthy but as many have not been and they got where they were by scrimping and saving and their parents doing likewise.

Eddie Macken is the only person of any note to ever come out of Longford:)

could care less where he is from

What sports do you like, cant be very many considering you dont like sports that rich people watch.

You never realy told us how you define rich

gaa soccer basketball american football be my favourites...also said i liked the swimming in the olympics..fan of track and field and i also enjoy rugby although not as much as i used to...well somebody who is well off i guess or elitist...

also a golf fan

A rich mans sport for sure, did somebody say you have to have tartan pants ?

ah well at least it takes more actual ability than just riding a horse or having the best horse

how do you feel about wealthy countries taking in athletes from poor countries to compete for them?

depends what the situation is i guess and what sport..feel free to provide examples and ask my opinion on it..i dont mind new zealand taking the pacific islanders to play for them as they provide them with a place to live and school
