Another super GAA Stadium on the way

Cork set a template for others to follow so it’s no surprise that these plans are so ambitious: the city is the second largest in the southern part of Ireland, so it’s important the GAA has an impressive presence in Cork,” said Mr McGill.

Hee, hee. If this planned development of Swords goes ahead, Cork will be the 3rd largest city in this state!

I read in the paper that a massive development plan was getting the green light in Swords. On an even larger scale than what's going on in Ballymun.

I here the GAA are going to throw some bucks into a new stadium at Abbottstown too.

Nooooooooooooo , screw AbbottsTown. It's a white elephant. It's bleedin miles away and there's no pubs around it

That's not true. There's a pub 15 mins walk from the place. Of course, that pub is in the middle of 'little Beirut' that is Corduff and there's been one or two gangland killings in the place. Just keep an eye on your pint, your back and the pub front door and you'll be alright!

Now Earl, do you expect me to believe that you walked through Corduff?

I used to work in Lucent, and I used to get my smoke there. Lovely place.I was always sh1tting it!

"Outside Ireland, only grounds such as Manchester United’s Old Trafford (76,212 seats), London’s Wembley (90,000) and Paris’s Stade de France (80,000) have a higher capacity in Europe."

What horseshit. How about the Millennium Stadium (74,500), Bernabeu (80,400), or the Nou Camp, which at 92,000-odd is the biggest football stadium in Europe? God it pisses me off when newspapers make ridiculous claims like this...

Not to mention the San Siro.
