It's very easy to complain about the price of sporting events, concerts etc these days but have to say im pleasantly surprised at cost of tickets for the URC final next weekend. β¬70 for 2 adults and 1 child incl fees. Bit of a bargain thanks to 10% discount on the URC site. #Leinster #URC #Ireland

It's a matter or perspective I guess, some people love it, some hate. Can say the same for St Patrick's Day festivities, and also for most bank holiday weekends in the summer for different reasons.
Not to everyone's taste but possibly hyperbolic to say it's ruins the city for "everyone else"

For political reasons or just because there'll be a lot of loud Americans?
In fairness, they spend a lot of money when they come over for College football, so there is an economic benefit.

Just joined an newly formed over 35s soccer team, and in the group chat - manager asked what positions we play.
Someone actually said "False 9", and I don't think they were joking π€£π€£π€£
Either a huge troll or...?
Might have to consider saying I'll be the "Regista".

Or is there a different way to make it more desirable for lads to move to Galway, Belfast or Limerick?
Many examples over the years of players moving and succeeding but for some reason the IRFU can't or won't put things in place to spread the depth elsewhere.

There have been numerous instances over the years where players have chosen to stay on the bench in Leinster rather than move, and I'm not sure what the solution is. Do we put a rule in that they can't get picked for national squad if they don't move? Some would see that as unfair.

Even if you took out Snyman, Barrett and Slimani, they probably would have a better squad than a combined Con/Muns/Uls team which speaks to the depth that comes through the school system.
The IRFU quickly needs to find a way to entice players from the Leinster bench to the other provinces.

Because "Party sources" is almost always bullshit.
Either they didn't ask or they text someone the author knew in the party and they personally didn't know.

Bit of a Robin Hood for some people. Willing to overlook his crimes as most were against blue collar targets (Bank Robberies etc) as he's paid for the local boxing clubs, football pitches, basketball hall etc.
Don't think he'll get in, but for an area with such deprivation in parts, I'm not shocked

The left splits our vote. If you're on the left, you have greens, SD, Labour to decide between, then PBP, R2C etc further left.
If you're on the right, you have FFFG centre right, then really only AontΓΉ as a "credible" pro life party. 33% voted to keep the 8th, so would make sense a chunk vote Aontu
