The GOAT

[Conal Baxter @conalbaxter]

@Mr_C_Gervin Not often I agree with you - but you're right. When Armagh decide to attack they are great - but they aren't set up to play to their strengths its incredibly frustrating

Sometimes Gaelic football does produce a great game...

The 'Totti of Laois' - you're some man Cahir 😂

[Smaller Fish @SmallerFishGAA]

Cahir Healy commuted home nearly every weekend from London for 10 years to play with Laois and Portlaoise.

How did he explain to his Italian girlfriend the reason she would be on her own every weekend?

Was pleased to be able to get out during lunch and support the day of action against cuts to community and voluntary sector. These services are vital and will impact the most vulnerable in society

On further thought we deserved this inventing the penalty kick

Too smart for our own good

@BBCnireland have been spectacular in their coverage of GAA this year. Adding ref insight is great and @SarahMulkerrins and @thomasniblock are the best in the business

Along with the other cuts this is turning into structural violence on the population

[Clodagh Rice @ClodaghLRice]

The Department for Communities is facing impossible choices as it is faces a 16% or £111millon budget shortfall

Some areas which now face significant cuts:
- Social security delivery
- discretionary support grants
- employment support

There are also 600 staff vacancies
