You’re very immature, mate. Not everyone or everything from Kildare is a cunt or horrible. Learn from how me and @thedancingbaby grew up and overcame our hatred of all things Offaly and Roscommon respectively. I rarely tweet at all these days.
Can’t wait until it all comes out in the wash - maybe years down the line - where all this money is going and into whose pockets…

The Gaelic Player’s Association will charge guests for their ‘Inaugural Boston Friends of the GPA Dinner’ this April between $500 (€471) and $50,000 (€47,100).
The event which take place on Friday, April 7 at The State Room in Boston will aim to raise funds for the GPA and the Fenway Hurling Classic.
Tickets for the event begin at $500 but there are sponsorship packages ranging from being a table sponsor for $5,000 or the platinum package which costs $50,000.
The Platinum Package comes with a number of perks including a premium table for 10 at the event, VIP packages for two people to both All-Ireland finals and autographed jerseys from the All-Ireland hurling and football champions.
In the past number of years GAA bodies have been tapping into the North American market for funds with the GPA leading the way with expertly coordinated campaigns.
In 2011, the GPA established an advisory board in New York of business people, journalists, lawyers and a variety of other established contacts to help the Association develop a network of supporters in the US.
The board was established to raise awareness of the association’s activities and to raise additional funds for the GPA Player Development Programme.
The GAA’s annual grant to the GPA is the primary source of funding for the Programme.
However, the GPA claim the US activity was established to help supplement Programme costs and to address a shortfall in funding.
The GPA revealed to Independent.ie last year that they had generated gross revenues of €2.07m through their US network and events.
Not that he takes credit, but that he has encouraged a culture where lads don’t feel they will be disregarded forever by doing something for themselves.
Totally agree its about parents and environment at home
