Things That Are Wrong

The only thing that is wrong there is that it appears you are awake alone.

fuck sake

CRITICS OF THE government’s perceived lack of commitment to the 1916 commemoration plans have been bolstered today by claims that its website used an online translating tool.

According to news website,Tuairisc.ie, the 1916 Proclamation which appeared on ireland.ie last night was “google translated”.

However, the Department of Arts, Herigage and the Gaeltacht has told TheJournal.ie today that the matter has been resolved.

It admitted that sections of “holding text” were used while translation was being carried out and that these were “published in error” on the live site.

“This matter has been addressed and the correct Irish language translation has gone live on the website,” a spokesperson said.

On Tuairisc.ie, Seán Tadhg Ó Gairbhí reports that the original text was full of grammatical mistakes and inaccurate language.

This afternoon, Conradh na Gaeilge accused the government of being lazy in its work.

“Without a doubt mistakes like these would not be accepted from the Government in English,” it said in a statement today. ”The Irish language and Gaeltacht community should not have to accept them in Irish.”

The group also challenged the “lack of projects which show the commitment that the leaders of the 1916 Rising had for the Irish language”.

President Cóilín Ó Cearbhaill said that no initiative to strengthen the Irish language in the community has been included in the programme for 2016.

“The Government’s attitude towards the use of the Irish language in official life in the state is indicated by the name given to the commemoration ‘Ireland 2016’ instead of ‘Éire 2016’ and through the website for the commemoration that is insulting, unprofessional and lowers the status of the Irish language yet again.”

Conradh na Gaeilge has asked the Minister with responsibility, Heather Humphreys, to meet with its members to ensure the official programme “gives proper recognition to the Irish language and that it recognises the central role that the Irish language had in the vision of the 1916 leaders”.

We’re going to embarrass ourselves as a nation with the run up to 2016 as every politician, quango and community group runs around and strives to make capital from a failed uprising that will be revised to within an inch of its life - you can see already we are the same nation that built a shrine to Barack Obama near a motorway and clings to Kennedy’s visit to Wexford as a seminal moment.

It’s clear that the main reason to celebrate 1916 is to take it away from Sinn Fein and any political capital they seek to make from it.

Fianna Fail might change their name to Fine Fail/IRA to coincide with the upsurge in national patriotism.

Kennedy was from Wexford mate. Your crowd lined the streets to welcome the Queen FFS.

Wexford and Limerick.

And there was me thinking he was an American…

Limerick? What tenuous link are they trying to associate Kennedy with there?

This should be good.

Fitzgerald, pal. His maternal line hails from Bruff Co.Limerick but most of us don’t claim him in any way shape or form as that would be quite sad given that he is American.

Any sign of Fitzy ?

[SIZE=6]New knee on the cards for Flanagan as he quits Lilies[/SIZE]

Brian Flanagan, Kildare
Former Kildare footballer Brian Flanagan is facing the prospect of a knee replacement in his 30s.

Flanagan, who has announced his retirement from inter-county football, has struggled with a knee injury for the last two seasons. He has been told that he will have to have a knee replacement in the coming years unless he undergoes a rare procedure that involves removing part of his tibia.

Flanagan was ever-present during Kieran McGeeney’s six-year reign with Kildare and is only 29.

He ruptured his cruciate ligament two days after Kildare’s 13-point League defeat to Dublin in Croke Park in March 2013 and has never recovered full fitness.

Despite two operations, including a complete posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in February, he has been advised that his football career is over.

“I’ve a fully arthritic knee, I have no cartilage, I have an artificial cruciate, a screw in the middle of my tibia, a screw in the middle of my femur and I have staples down the front of my knee. The X-ray is like a piece of timber with a load of bolts out of it,” he said.

Loosened

"I’ve been told I’ll be doing well to get to 40 without needing a knee replacement. I was up with the surgeon last week. He said ‘no, it has slipped back again’ and the cruciate that they did put in has loosened slightly, so it’s unfortunate.

“I knew something wasn’t right when I was on the bike rehabilitating in recent weeks.”

Flanagan is weighing up whether to have a third operation in under two years but may do so for “day to day comfort.”

“They wait until February or March to give it 12 months since the last operation to let the cruciate bed in. It involves opening the front of your knee, coming down about 40mm from the top of the tibia and it’s cut off from that point,” explained Flanagan, a financial consultant.

"The surgeons told me he has only done a handful of them and he didn’t think there is any other surgeon in Ireland doing them.

“I’m not 100pc sure I will go for it but it would be purely to prevent a knee replacement in the next few years. I’m already booked in for that. But it might buy me a bit of time.”

Flanagan regrets that Kildare didn’t get over the line in Leinster during his time as they reached five successive All-Ireland quarter-finals. He plans to immerse himself in coaching with his club Johnstownbridge in the coming years.

He may not be the only departure in Kildare with speculation over other possible changes in personnel as Jason Ryan settles in for a second year in charge.


I think there was a debate raging on this forum about the merits of a life spent on an intercounty panel and what you may or may not miss out on. The knee replacement before you’re 40 and your only notable regret being you “didnt get over the line in Leinster” is probably something you would be happy to miss out on.
