The day a Cork United player showed how true sportsmen should play the game

LISTENING to RTÉ today and the aftermath of Paris, and how God’s hand is being blamed for our defeat, I remembered when I was a young boy my father took me to the Mardyke to watch Cork United play one of the leading Dublin teams – Shamrock Rovers or Drumcondra, I cannot be sure.

A SPECIAL review body, known only to the Taoiseach, his cabinet and God knows who else, found it was fair, equitable and fully deserved to increase the salaries of politicians, senior civil servants and other senior State employees by up to €38,000 per annum.

Sex too important to be left to the liberals
