Loads of tickets available apparently. Just like the Cork homecoming.

There’s been loads available for months. They’re just extortionately priced. Cheapest seat for the final day of the swimming which has Daniel Wiffins 1500m, the women’s 50m freestyle and 2 relay finals (that’s 4 races in total) is 385 quid

No athlete from Leitrim.

Those outfits are dreadful.

They are, but they need to be practical.
There can be a cauld enough breeze down the Seine at times…

Rugby has no business in an Olympics surly

Both me and RTÉ stand corrected. None from Westmeath either.

Can’t wait for this to start.

Would Meath not count for Westmeath?

So inconsequential it’s on before the opening ceremony.

The GAA should try and make hurling an Olympic sport with the proviso Ireland does not participate. When you consider some of the shite that is in the Olympics, it would take the world by storm.

I was wondering earlier given people now have no attention spans and generally have no time for anything any more will hurling possibly get more popular?

70 minutes is an ideal length of a game and the passages of play are short too with plenty of scores.

It would be easy enough. Just send out a hape of hurleys ans sliotars to all the rugby league nations along with a video of Will O Donoghue abd Hego. Sure they would bebup to speed in no time cc thetippos

Not a sport

There’s 28 county crests there.
