Heâd definitely get a few votes if he ran but I donât know whoâd back him at this stage.
The European Parliament might suit him.
The Offaly votes alone could win it

Hard to fathom but seems there may actually be a SeĂĄn Quinn element of support for Carey.
Youâre not in the know . Youâre a hound who hammers real people on the internet while bigging up the Laois championship . Say no more .
I suppose Brian Crowley got in on the back of a profile
Iâve my name back in for underage coaching.
Iâm watching MOTD on record as we speak.
I see a lot of people on twitter defending it as a player retention tool, rugby and soccer clubs do it all the time etc. And I kind of get it. But itâs just so unnecessary.

I donât see much harm in it apart from it being exclusionary for some kids maybe who canât afford it. Rugby clubs would go on tours alright but would twin with another club and stay in their houses, or maybe play some big weekend blitz and stay in dorms in a college or something⌠Our own club did it last year but they fundraised the shit out of it beforehand and all the teams there stayed on a massive campsite etc so it was cheap enough maybe 100 quid a head or something⌠definitely a v good retention tool
I think the *packaging" of this as a warm weather training camp is whatâs wrong

The Ballymun Kickham feile teams have been going to Portugal every year for well over a decade. Every kid involved travels.
Yeah I agree whoever put the phrase warm weather training in there was silly but that would be my only issue, just call it a trip. Its hardly elite training, is there some Portuguese lad out there going to train them to be better hurlers? Its a trip away for young lads that clubs of all types all over the country offer. Wrong phrasing used in the blurb I accept but hardly worth lads like Colm Parkinson turning into a major issue on Twitter.

Football clubs go to play games vs other clubs
Scouts bring 14 year olds away, choirs, youth groups not just football clubs. Is it different a GAA club offering lads that age a trip away?
