Where was Barringtonās pub?
For me the real change in Ireland came post USA '94. We were still quite twee up to that.

Nah. A mullocker.
But he had other skills and suited the era.
Heās an awful man and almost a caricature now.
But he fucked himself and his reputation under a bus that day for a pal of his, and knowingly did it. It cost him a lot of money subsequently. Price of loyalty to a long standing pal.
There is a few fellas stepping into photos lately who would want their head examined.
Surprised you didnāt know that kid. The Foleyās were proper parish heads originally. Long time ago though

Halvey?
No idea what heās up to now. Had heard he moved o dublin. He was always a black sheep amongst them really but was popular. A v nice man we discussed the other night tried to dig him out of a hole after the accident as well like a good friend would

No the people joining in the photos with him.
Idnāt EH lucky to be alive after riding a few of the wrong women, way way back.
Iād say itās a complicated one with EH. They all know heās a loose cannon and made an awful mistake and ruined a load of lives. But like Begbie in trainspotting, heās a mate. All shannon heads in the pic bar frankie as well they would go back 20 yrs plus

I donāt necessarily think it was a terrible thing on Galweyās part to give a character witness for a friend, more misguided.
But the facts of the case were cut and dried. Halvey should have fronted up, to use a rugby term, and done his time.
I donāt know how you could have proper remorse or be āa changed manā, as Galwey said Halvey was, without doing that time.

Eddie Halvey and Jason Hayes. 2 of the biggest pricks to come out of Limerick from what I could tell

Some scenes out there this evening.
I remember Foley in the autumn of 94 destroying all before him. He got 4 tries against Connacht around then. Capped for Ireland on the flank against England. Was at it and remember him boxing with Dean Richards.
Christ the 90s were a terrible decade for rugby here.
This pulmonary oedema business is frightening. Would there be any symptoms at all?
Halvey had it all, except the important bit.

Vaguely remember a Jason Hayes playing for shannon back in the day but not sure what heās done to be in that company?
I see David corkery in his tribute to foley had a cut off halvey for wasting all his talent
Yeah, Iād say thatās the opinion of a lot of people on him.
As an Ireland rugby fan, Tottenham Hotspur fan and England cricket fan, the 1990ās was a decade of unparalleled misery on all fronts.
As well as Ulster becoming the dominant province in Gaelic football.
The hope was the hardest.
When OāDriscoll and Hickey appeared, we hadnāt scored a try in Paris since the time of black and white.

Incorrect. Ireland scored a glorious penalty try at the end of the 1996 game in the Parc des Princes, a fitting way to end our Five Nations championship participation at the venue.
