Hang on a sec - I thought you believed Ewan’s line about benefits from a RWC only going to a private sector select few. Now you’re suggesting that the GAA would benefit to the tune of millions. About 2 posts later.
You’re seething mate. You’ll be in an even more agitated state if you win the vote and have to fork out for GAA upgrades all over the land, all while Leinster play in a show jumping arena, Connacht play in a dog track and Munster rely on the banks not to call in their exorbitant stadium debt.
So you think worse of the man who battled to hold onto his house that he built and paid for himself (munster rugby) than you do the scrounger who had his house paid for by the state because he couldn’t rattle together two beans (limerick gaa)
The GG existed long before PJ rocked up. And will long after he is gone.
Anyway this isn’t about Limerick GAA, it’s about Ireland’s farcical World Cup bid. Moaning about the stadia at your disposal and look where the three provincial franchises play!
I’d like Ireland to get the RWC. I’d be proud of putting ourselves on the world stage and I think we’d genuinely offer an exceptional event. Our stadia wouldn’t be as polished as other countries but the experience woulead make it a lasting experience for any visitors. This isn’t a surprise, our tourist industry has excelled despite poor infrastructure for the last 50 years.
I’d be delighted if the process also put money into facilities, rugby and GAA, around the country. Why wouldn’t I - like most Irish people I go to rugby, GAA and even soccer games. What sort of bitter weirdo would be against that sort of progress?
So - I’m disappointed that it looks like we’re not going to get it but I’m not seething - that’s life.
