isnt it odd that the fact that some lad from Wexford went to DCU is known and celebrated throughout the county
The school was sued and coughed up 8k to the student for mental and psychological damages. It’s well done and dusted.
Only if you truly believe its odd
Chalk it down.
I hope that €8k goes some way to healing that poor boy’s scars, perhaps physical but most definitely mental. God bless his parents.
Nailed it.
The money will be some comfort, but it the mental scars will be difficult to rub out.
I hope the dust settles soon for all involved.
True-some things can never be erased. Chalk it down to life experience I suppose.
Have you just taken what the Runt and Fagan said and repeated it?
Poor.
Would you let this Galvin guy alone and stop chasing him around the internet like a pack of hornball faggotts?!
Its just that black and white to you isnt it?
Try again there laddie. You’re making no sense.
:rolleyes:
I suppose I have really. I said I’d wait until you got the obligatory like from mbb before replying-that man has issues.
:rolleyes:
Rocko you must be making a fortune out of this place so

Hair-raising Galvin: I’m making more money now
By John Fogarty
The recently-retired Kerry footballer left his job in St Brendan’s College, Killarney, in 2010 to enrol in a fashion course in Dublin Institute of Technology.
He has since launched a website through which he markets a barber shop and men’s hair products.
“There were just opportunities happening and I had a small presence online and it kept growing and growing,” explained Galvin. “I didn’t know if I could, to be honest. I just took a punt, really.
“I make a decent living. It’s not like I’m making, you know… but it’s better than what I earned teaching.
“There’s more to be done there, but a year-and-a-half, two years ago, there was no guarantees that I would do anything with it. I just kind of said I’d go for it and see what happened.”
Galvin has no regrets about leaving behind his teaching profession and is in the process of securing further deals with companies in Dublin, London, and New York.
He believes other inter-county footballers and hurlers can follow his example. “I think other GAA players should be doing it as well, because you could see social media becoming a course module in university, or even second level.
“You have social media with economics, with languages, with sociology, psychology — there is a whole world there that I think could be tapped in to.
“For me, it has basically become full-time. It’s hard to tell people — it’s basically online advertising through social media.”

I’d believe him. I’m doing a bit of work with someone in a similar field at the moment and there’s money in it alright. Not huge money, as he says, but someone could make a decent income from it with the right profile and promotion.
