    I don’t think that section allows for a Monarch at all. Furthermore, Article 12.1 declares the President to take “precedence over all other persons in the State”, which prevents us having a monarch.
    The king wasn't in the state. As mentioned, jargon. :)

    So I think it’s fair to say that we ditched the Monarchy in 1937.
    Until the 2011 Croke Park Agreement senior civil servants got a day off to celebrate Empire Day.


    And another for King George V's birthday even though he died back in 1936.

    I presume that's where they originated but would have been kept on then as per 'custom and practice'.

    Gaa clubs?

    Roscommon's jersey had a map of the county with all the clubs on it until 2018.

    You could put an X on it to mark your house and get a taxi to drive you home after a hard night on the sauce.

    Not technically correct
    Both pitches on Aran islands are the same club. Same for belmullet.
    It's probably more a map of GAA pitches

    I like how it it's an internal map of Roscommon clubs, kind of implies you wouldn't be wearing it beyond the county bounds. Where would they be going?

    Is buying fancy buses that go nowhere for 11 months of the year punching above your weight?

    Interesting to see how dark parts of Antrim and Down are on that map :D

    But probably only the pitches of senior clubs as I reckon that there are many more clubs than the pitches shown on that map.

    Apart from being used for football, hurling and camogie at all age levels, the bus is rented out several days a week to schools, clubs, day care centres etc. etc. etc. and anybody else who wants to rent it. Drivers rotate on a voluntary basis.

    It actually saves money over renting buses. It's purchase was part sponsored, you can purchase sponsorship on the bus and it's servicing was free for a couple of years.

    It works out a lot cheaper than renting a bus every time one is needed.

    And it looks good! ;):)

    A good map would be a map of everywhere it goes over 12 months.


    Speaking of which, this is a map of the route of the 'Magic Bus', from London to Kathmandu, the longest ever scheduled bus journey at 9,600 Km. It ran up until the 1979 revolution in Iran.

    Sponsors paid the lease/purchase for the bus
    It's now owned by the county board

    our club is there, and we're not a senior club

    i can see 3-4 within a 10k radius of our club that are not represented ...not a bad thing necessarily, at the best of times we like to pretend they don't exist.

    You could run the lighting in a niteclub just by showing Italy. Over 60 changes of government.
