DOUBTS have emerged about Galway’s continued participation in the Leinster hurling championship after a motion to include their minor and U-21 sides was met with a lukewarm response.

DOUBTS will remain about Manchester United’s bid to complete a clean sweep of honours until the final ball of the season has been kicked but their summary dismissal of Fulham was an eloquent declaration that they possess the capacity to fulfil the extraordinary challenge of winning every competition that is put in front of them.

DOUBTS have been raised about the four-year time scale in which Education Minister Batt O’Keeffe expects to have completed the latest group of schools built under a public private partnership (PPP) deal.

DOUBTS were expressed last night over the Government’s plans to reform the Seanad in the wake of a report which suggested increasing the number of senators to 65.
