“It’s not a generalisation… in every sphere of life that you meet a gay man or gay people in a social environment, the way I look at it after talking to them; they have very little interest in sport.”

Apparently people like me don’t play ‘manly’ sports so looking forward to training tomorrow night in the ‘unmanly’ sport of hurling

“Too many of our people are still just getting by from day to day, and from week to week. Existing, rather than living. Too many people are worried about what next week and next month will bring, and about the future of their children.
These are the people for whom we have to make recovery real.
…We could go back to the bad old ways. Of insider politics. Of tax breaks for those in the know. Of a casino economy where people build and sell property to each other and where families who need homes are priced out. Of a country and an economy run, not by the people for the people, but for a special few, who think they’re worth it.
That’s not the future we choose. ”Eamon Gilmore this evening.
