Leinster's Bill is less that ST, and Stade  Francais and Racing 92 have in recent years had total spends higher than Leinster.
Also, might have escaped your notice an all but Leinster prevailed against any french opposition played this Season. 
We'd easily be in Top 4 of T14 on a consistent basis.

            'commitment for neutrality, promise no Irish military support and reject joining NATO' are all at this stage varying forms of Russian appeasement. PbP may be muppets, but at least they are upfront about it.

            Actually they dont - They are just afraid to say it because so many gullible/naive people are still taken in by the alarmist nonsense from the Irish Left. 
Other EU states will not tolerate our freeloading for much longer. When economic reality kicks in change will happen, & it won't be a choice.

            Irish neutrality was at best only ever a cost saving mechanism, that we will no longer get away with it unless we want to end up severely marginalised in the EU. 
Hard to see how anyone could benefit from continuing to advocate - Hopefully the Irish left will actually be that stupid.

            Damm right. Not so much as a scratch, no matter how low the preference.
SF's 'Policy' on Ukraine is tantamount to capitulation.

            Israel’s a nuclear power. Hamas should negotiate and cede territory.
Apparently that’s how this works.

            The performative outrage competition on Palestine came across as quite insincere particularly as a closer (and larger) war in Europe that threatens EU partners borders was largely ignored.  
Student union politics at best and your moderation did little to improve it.
