Agreed.Listening to a local TD on radio this morning was galling, He claimed the Gaa are different to other sporting organisations due to our amateur status and volunteers, What an insult to volunteers in soccer. rugby, boxing,and so many other clubs.
And what's that got to do with it anyway? The bandwagon jumping Sinn Fein TDs might be surprised to learn that that, unfortunately, the contractors and hundreds of staff hired to build the stadium weren't volunteers, and the materials used weren't provided at cost price.
Are we supposed to turn around to Bank of Ireland and say "sorry we're behind on repayments, but we're a voluntary organisation so what about".
