The 10 Most Popular Activities in Ireland

Is cycling to work a sport? Or do have to have full Lycra kit and record the activity on Strava for it to be considered a sport? We need clarification here @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy

Weā€™ll have to start hurling to work like CĆŗ Chulainnā€¦

Too small, but is posting twee shite on twitter about how great we are in there?

Any info on what the most popular childrenā€™s sports were?

No begrudgery?

Gaelic football seems ridiculously close to soccer there. Sure soccer would include 5 a side etc too as well as multiple pub type leagues, over 35s etc. I would have thought ten times more played soccer.

Itā€™s not a fair metric as it doesnā€™t measure the four legged athletes we produce and the elite standard they reach

Dear Sir
If anyone is passing the petrol station on the great western road Glasgow, please could they possibly buy 20 fags and two packets of rizlas and drop them up to flat 3c 424 across the road.
Oh and two mars bars and three bags of monster munches.
Yours etc
