Staying Caffeinated, running a bit, not sleeping enough!

Sanctuary Runner

Things I like to post / read about in no particular order:
Philosophy, The NFL (⚡up), Politics, Food, Ireland, Rugby (🍀), Coffee, Travel, History and Football (🔵).
It's a matter or perspective I guess, some people love it, some hate. Can say the same for St Patrick's Day festivities, and also for most bank holiday weekends in the summer for different reasons.
Not to everyone's taste but possibly hyperbolic to say it's ruins the city for "everyone else"

For political reasons or just because there'll be a lot of loud Americans?
In fairness, they spend a lot of money when they come over for College football, so there is an economic benefit.

Or is there a different way to make it more desirable for lads to move to Galway, Belfast or Limerick?
Many examples over the years of players moving and succeeding but for some reason the IRFU can't or won't put things in place to spread the depth elsewhere.

There have been numerous instances over the years where players have chosen to stay on the bench in Leinster rather than move, and I'm not sure what the solution is. Do we put a rule in that they can't get picked for national squad if they don't move? Some would see that as unfair.

Even if you took out Snyman, Barrett and Slimani, they probably would have a better squad than a combined Con/Muns/Uls team which speaks to the depth that comes through the school system.
The IRFU quickly needs to find a way to entice players from the Leinster bench to the other provinces.

Sounds good!!!

This is incredible! Have to keep committed to the bit

I think they're terrified of spending any money on it after the musical debacle!!!

The last thing they want is getting called before another Oireachtas Media Committee

But we should apparently be in favour of the CEO's family razing New York City to try and find the one killer, right?

Surprised it passed, there'll be the usual pearl clutching about people being on holidays during the summer etc, but great for the kids to get to play on long summer evenings

Because "Party sources" is almost always bullshit.
Either they didn't ask or they text someone the author knew in the party and they personally didn't know.

I'm not here to anger the crowd! I'll be keeping my opinions strictly to myself!

If Ice Cream isn't healthy, why do they send it to space with astronauts and give it to you in hospital after operations???
