@JeromeQuinn You’re absolutely entitled to post it @JeromeQuinn and you were careful not to give your judgment on it - fair dues. It changed the game and it could easily have been reported without editorialising - though it’s a very tough watch and that may have been a factor?
@JP_Biz And not reduce the debt mountain or invest in services? What about the rarely talked about (in the UK) lever used by successive Irish governments - reduce or maintain very low corporation taxes and government revenues actually increase? Very counter factual for a Labour govt.
Big Chris Murphy, a warrior of a teammate, a very talented footballer and a friendly, big-hearted man - gone suddenly, a terrible loss to all. Deepest condolences to his three children and the Murphy and McCartan clans. RIP
It is with the deepest sorrow that we learn of the passing of our former great, Senior football midfielder, Chris Murphy.
Our condolences to all the Murphy family & to the great friends & teamates he held onto within our club.

@jmcconville710@StPaulsGAC Yes, reading the article and looking at the pictures again, that’s from the 1988 final (with Cavan in white shorts). That was a goal in two finals in a row from the big man.
@jmcconville710@StPaulsGAC Yes, Chris and I played midfield in the Ulster Championship u21 final win over Down in 1989 (when Chris scored the winning goal) but my memory is he scored that with his trusty left peg, not his hands - I think that pic is maybe from the year before - the 1988 final v Cavan?
@StPaulsGAC Awful news. What a teammate and man Chris was, we had some huge days on the pitch together, he was a brave warrior who did everything for his teammates. And a friendly, generous and warm character off the pitch. RIP big Chris.
Congratulations to @TCDGAA who won the @ElectricIreland Senior Football Division 2 Final last night after a cracking game against @DkITGAA. Trinity had a narrow 0-13 to 1-09 victory.
Love colleges GAA, last night @TCDGAA overhauled a 6 point lead from @DkITGAA to win the Div 2 senior league final. Two good teams, taking fantastic scores, including (sorry!) 4 from 4 frees by @RoryMcErlean1@Naomhbridclg, pic with fellow fresher Tom McCarroll @CarryduffCLG
@JP_Biz So, almost 11% of profits (at current levels) annually taken up by this increase - arguably that’s acceptable for a very large business (with healthy margins) like Tesco but what about smaller margin businesses here? These increases add serious risk to their business.
@jeremykuoo Do you have any stats on sales in relevant periods? Social media metrics are interesting and may lead to improved sales but they’re not as important as actual sales and the success of this campaign can’t really be judged unless the sales picture is included.
