Yeah. I think its 3k for four years.
@ciarancareyshurlingarmy I drove past a nasty accident between Mungret and Clarina just at the turnoff to the right after the Westward Ho last night. Did you hear anything about it? I was expecting to read about fatalities this morning but no mention of it anywhere.
Has he logged in today?
Heās probably working.
He made a quip about Wexford hurlers not going training today so heās in the clear

I know a lad who got one of those grants off PJ when he was in college. It was worth something like five grand a year. Your man that got it would live at home all year and just go for a nice holiday each summer paid for with PJs money.
A smart guy, well deserved of the grant alright.
Any fucker who survives six years in thar shit hole and still has an appetite for education deserves all that and more.
Six years where?
Reporting in alive and well. I live right on the edge of the burbs and not in Mungret village.
If @TreatyStones had passed the accident we would have a photograph but sadly @Julio_Geordio omitted to get any evidence for our investigation.
In other news, the road works are progressing slowly. The two lads laying the paving bricks must be on day-rate as they have spent two weeks at the roundabout and are not yet 50% done.
The leader was a big disappointment this week, no stories to rival last weeks entertainment.
Who is going racing on Sunday? The ccha clan will be there along with some visitors from NYC whom we are entertaining.
Sexton Street, did you come through there yourself?
I donāt think I can make Sunday. Thereās a big local event on which I probably should attend.
Cool story.

3 local lives in 200 years of fighting which includes one of Captain Rockās crew!! You boys dont even have a good ambush to commemorate
Noā¦ Smark didnāt mention anything about Sexton stā¦
I know, itās pretty bleak. Still itās nice to have some bit of a commemoration for them.
There was a very big numbers in the local brigades in the war of independence but after a few fairly minor skirmishes it was decided it wasnāt the best of areas for fighting (as per the witness accounts) due to the flat land and being hemmed in by the estuary on the north. A number of them went on to join the flying columns in East and far west Limerick, other than that the locality was mainly just used for safe houses and transporting fellas over and back from Clare.
There was one decent ambush where they attacked the train from Foynes in an effort to kill a few RIC men who were on their way to Dublin to give evidence at a trial. It was one of the last actions of Sean Finn, as he was shot dead the following day in Ballyhahill.

Itās a prerequisite that you are a pupil of JPs Alma Mater.
First i heard of it. This fella who got the grant didnāt attend Sexton Street.
I know people who were not even from Limerick nor went to school there who got it.
They were so active in the east as well that they tried to keep the west cool for hiding away in.
Much better republican pedigree in the area post independence
