Best not to go there. Will just get you a Mod warning.

To be fair, the "out of curiosity where are you from?" question is rarely asked in Ireland "out of curiosity".

With regard to 'place' one positive thing about the whole Dublin debate is the recognition of and concern for Leitrim football. When Kerry played in six All Ireland finals in a row and won four of them back in the 2000s nobody could care less about Leitrim or how many coaches they had.

I wasn't aware that mods had warned people yesterday not to ask said poster what county they were from so apologies for that(deleted since). However, I don't think I've ever seen anyone as obsessed with any one subject, seriously check their post history its amazing. So I was curious if where they were from could give some context, for example if they were from Mayo then given their many disappointments there could be a bitterness toward Dublin and indeed the whole system. Also the poster I was asking about had himself asked another poster "what county are you from" so I presumed they themselves wouldn't have an issue with me asking the same question just for some context.

There was no issue with asking the question to allow posters to put Enquiring's argument/agenda/bias vis a vis this subject matter in some sort of context.

However Enquiring has repeatedly been unwilling to answer the question and hence the repetition of this query is futile.

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up. But as I've said I find it hypocritical of him when he asked another poster a while ago in another thread what county they were from.

Yeah. He has absolutely zero credibility. Shown himself up over the last couple of days also.

One question as regards this statement - how much money were the Kerry or Tyrone County Boards ( the 2 powerhouses in the 2000's )receiving from the GAA, Sport Ireland or the Government to the detriment of every other county in the country?

Irrespective of the population of a county, the issues with participation in a county, the standard of Gaelic games in a county and so on, everyone received in and around the same level of funding. It was then up to each county to work hard and try their best with the resources available to them.

As we all know, this was true for every county bar one.

Let me guess...................more than Leitrim? Or does it matter?

Yes....... If the central governing body have any interest in fair competition, they shouldn't be favouring any one county over another.

So the GAA should have same infrastructure and investment in Leitrim and Longford as in Dublin with 20 times the population? In what economic universe would that happen? Should there be an M50 built in Carrick on Shannon just because Dublin have one?

According to the figures for coaching/development grants that Sean McGoldrick published.

Kerry - 730k
Leitrim -565K
Tyrone- 560K

So over a 10 year period Leitrim received approx the same as Tyrone per annum and about 16,500 less than Kerry per annum.

Nothing excessively disproportionate about these numbers.

Cork have about half of Dublin's population. Cork had 2,041 registered youth teams in 2019. Dublin had 2,049. Cork have a far bigger area to cover but only had 7 coaches to do this job, Dublin had 64.

Funny how it doesn't take us long to get away from Leitrim.

Wow. It’s gone from 100 coaches to 64. Some posters and maths really don’t go well together. It’s either that or it deflecting from the true figures. Me thinks it’s the latter. Deflection seems to be the norm.

The standard reply to that figure is it was a capital project. It was for Cork GAA. End of.

And poor Dublin have to play in their home pitch with a capacity of 14k. Crazy really.

Which they have not redeveloped despite all their success and are forced to play in a "neutral" venue less than 5km from their beloved home ground.

It’s about time you acknowledged Dublins home ground. Fair play.

ArielAtom · 11-02-2021 10:15PM

It is wonderful to eventually see the acceptance of Parnell Park being the home of Dublin GAA. Great to see.

If it's their home ground when was the last time the senior footballers played a game there?

What’s you point? Dublin GAA home is Parnell Park. That is a fact, that is not up for debate. If you have factual evidence to offer please provide it. Remembers facts not fiction.

All I asked was when did the senior footballers last play there
Is it such a difficult question to answer?
