You'd be in favour of dropping them as sponsor? Why?
They are not a company that i think we should be associated with in Cavan GAA. The below should be enough.
Kingspan “knowingly” created a “false market” in insulation for use on buildings over 18m in height and the report said it “cynically exploited” the industry’s limited understanding of insulation and cladding fire safety tests. “Dishonest strategies”, “deeply entrenched and persistent dishonesty”, a “complete disregard for fire safety”
It’s good that you aren’t in charge of promotional fundraising activities so. If you do enough digging with any successful company, you’ll find skeletons in the cupboard. That’s the nature of business.
This will all die over and we should stand by Kingspan like they have stood by us.
From my understanding they had a very limited role in what happened far less than the other 2 cladding companies, the council and many other parties including the government.
Michael Gove and Jim Allister seem determined to get them for sectarian reasons and the fact they are an Irish and foreign company. Probably deflects from their own government failings too.
Speaking of fundraising would be interesting what sort of figures the CB are taking in so far this championship. Crowds are down I think, I personally blame some of it on their determination to use 2 ticketing apps and not accept cash. The harder it is for people to go the less will go.
First off, there's no doubt Kingspan have acted shady here - think everyone is clear on that. The bit I scratch my head at though is that they seem to be getting all of the heat here. The report says only 5% of material was Kingspan, and they did not know about that or authorise that product for that particular usage.
They're getting a lot of heat for Grenfell, when the report talks about Kingspan generally in the industry but not about this one tragedy. The actual ones who did so are getting far less exposure here, with blame seemingly put solely to Kingspan for being the biggest in the market. Yes, it seems they used some advantages as market leader, but what are the regulators at here? A company is getting the blame for acting like a company and not a regulator who seem to have got away with doing nothing with regulation here. It's just weird overall
But even with this, they are a Cavan based company, and lots here in the county work for them or supply/support as third party companies etc. We are in very little position to be cutting a sponsor like this after 30 years, considering the close relationship of both in multiple ways. I don't see why a company could be beyond redemption, especially in their home county and all the good that has gone on before this
Cavan GAA haven't gotten any heat as far as I see. Head down and power through might seem a little unsavoury, but I think they should considering location and history there and how they can redeem
They are accepting cash or ticket in other counties. It's silly even for underage games tickets are needed
Yeah it's crazy for underage. Surely it's a hindrance as well for attracting any foreign or non GAA person into a match. Nevermind elderly. They've been called out repeatedly on this for years by councillors, age action Ireland etc. Crowds absolutely are down big time there's no doubt especially in Breifne it's very noticeable.
It's one thing for the Ireland rugby or soccer team or big gigs but GAA especially club GAA should have been one of the holdouts.
Yeah they are cutting people off ,wlhen the GAA is supposed to be a community sport. The crowds are down in the championship. I think the format might have a part too. Teams can lose a few games and make a quarter final, or win just once like Gowna.
it wouldn’t be the first time Irish people or companies were made scapegoats, evidently there was carelessness but wanting to end Cavan GAAs relationship with kingspan when they are a Cavan company that has employed so many people in the county and invested so much money in Cavan GAA is madness, now is the time to support them like they have supported Cavan.
Maybe I have been brought up better than some and have higher morals.
What multinational company with no failings to their name would you suggest we approach to replace them with?
Is it about doing right or gathering money?
Kingspan are our sponsors, the purpose of a sponsorship is to gather money.
If you believe we should part with Kingspan because of failures in their UK wing they have admitted to, then fair enough.
What's the next step? What's the company that matches your higher moral code?
Cavan Mart
you can buy tickets for cash for Cavan championship games. They are available from club secretary s
Paying cash at the gate should be provided. If someone wants to go to a game at the last minute cash option should be available. Going on to a phone like it's an All Ireland final.
Maybe you have but then maybe you should look into some of the brands you buy in depth. As already stated, there are very few companies that have a clean bib.
You can’t even provide an intellectual response re how Cavan should replace the funding they would lose.
I see Cavstream only have 4 games on their stream this weekend i though they would have showed the majority of them.
The winners in most of the ties is quite clear so I doubt there’ll be much interest outside of the clubs themselves. Munterconnaught actually put up a better fight than I expected last night but no surprise in the result.
There are U14 finals on tomorrow that will be more entertaining than the adult football.
They have the junior game tonight but haven't bothered to put on a commentator at all which is a bit of a joke for a paid service
Seen a picture of the Gaels u14 team a few lads there wouldn't look out off place on a minor team, massive lads.
Yeah that's not right.
Id say they never intended on showing the junior games.
But then probably got a bit of a backlash after not showing knockbride v munterconnacht on the Thursday so streamed Swad v Redhills last night without commentators.
Probably hard to get a commentator and short notice but 10 quid a bit steep without them
At the quarter finals all the grades should be shown with a commentator. 10 euro with no commentator is just taking the piss.
They should and have been last couple of years.
I think junior quarter finals were on a standalone weekend in recent years could be wrong though
It is but anyone with any interest in football would surely go for the value in the weekend pass this week.
Masters final on in Breffni. Stephen O Neill still a class act

I’ve no interest in watching any of the matches this weekend bar Cootehill and Cuchulainns which is about the only game where you can’t pick a clear winner.
Like I said above, they’d be better steam some of the juvenile games as they’d be more entertaining.
Heard you the first time.
