Polls show that our voters can’t choose,
Between two political crews,
But whether the winners,
Are Blueshirts or Shinners,
We all know that Ireland will lose.

Handsome scamp Dublin GAA star Bernard Brogan has been appointed President of the Federation of Irish Sport.
Brogan said at his appointment:
I am delighted to take up the challenge of being President of the Federation and look forward to working closely with the Federation and its members to further spread the message of the true value of sport to Ireland
Is he really suitable for this appointment?
Fair play though, in fairness.

Sinn Féin is neck-and-neck with Fine Gael in popular support for the first time, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll.
The poll also shows that Labour has benefited from a modest bounce since the summer Cabinet reshuffle with new Tánaiste Joan Burton now the most popular party leader.
And it appears that the controversy over John McNulty’s Seanad nomination has had no impact on Fine Gael support since the last poll in May.
Enda to grow beard and tweet about teddy bears in desperate bid to win back voters.

A new Ghostbusters film is coming. What’s more, the ghost-fighting team this time around will be made up of women, and Bridesmaids director and mastermind behind the cult classic television series Freaks and Geeks, Paul Feig, has been tapped to write the script.
The Hollywood Reporter says Katie Dippold, who worked with Feig on Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy body cop flick The Heat, will be teaming up with the director again on the new Ghostbusters project.
