If there’s someone out there with information – they’ve been holding onto it for a long while. It must bother them. Why not come forward now. It’s 20 years. Come forward and get it off your mind and you’ll feel better for it. It may be one sentence that makes the difference – maybe an overheard conversation that helps solve what happened.

She knows to a certain extent what Ruth is facing. She’s very smart. She’s a lot smarter than me. You can see it. She’s worried. When you go downstairs and you hear your daughter say “mammy, please don’t die, don’t leave”, it’s devastating.

It’s just dinosaurs making decisions. A young man has passed away who has left a young family behind, and all they are looking to do is play a game that will bring people together, firstly. A lovely occasion and will help Liam Miller’s family. I just find it disgraceful that they cannot open the gates of their stadium for one day. I think – I don’t know, I don’t read media or whatever – I’d like to think that is everyone’s feeling on it. But I find it a disgrace, and it is the same old dinosaurs in the GAA making the same old decisions.
Irish footballer Damien Duff told Off The Ball that he is disgusted by the GAA’s unwillingness to open the doors to Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the Liam Miller charity match.

Save the world guys!, pay 2 euro for a litre of diesel\petrol in Ireland (a tiny country) while the US and other major powers\populations pay quarter of that…we’ve probably had about 20 years of these Carbon taxes and it doesn’t seems to be stopping anything :-(
@Spartacus Ireland: very true & Britain only accounts for 1% of global emissions but still inspires larger countries with green policies. I agree we play a small role but what’s the alternative in your view.
@Mjhint: We couldn’t incentivise?…it’s the same approach to obesity make the bad food more expensive and the good food even more expensive!?…I went to look into buying a basic electric car (38k?), I looked into a little wind generated in the house (thousands!!)…and if I’m taxed more and more I’ll never be able to afford these green technologies…make the good stuff cheaper is my suggestion, or is that just too difficult!?
@Ireland Abú: Yes, if this is an emergency we really need to incentivise very quickly…and if that means practically giving electric cars away or making the new technologies much more affordable then I’m in for sure!!…but I just don’t see the real and immediate benefit to these taxes (they’ve been with us a long time and still the globe gets hotter)…it seemed that CFC removal in aerosol in the eighties made the Ozone problem better (…or did it???)…all that’s happening right now is I’m just going broke and still trying to get to work and still trying to heat my home :-(
@Ireland Abú: get a job.
Barry Cowan looks towards the SF benches as he delivers the eunuchs-in-a-brothel line. I suppose if he is suggesting SF are the eunuchs then it follows that the Dail is a brothel.
