THE touring party for the GAA Vodafone Hurling All Stars trip to Argentina was confirmed last night.

The touring party for the 2009 GAA Hurling All-Stars, sponsored by Vodafone, has been confirmed, with a spread of hurlers from eight counties added as replacements.

PARENTS of pupils at a Waterford primary school say they’re going to appeal a decision by the local council to grant retention for a mobile phone mast located within 180 metres from the junior infants’ classroom.

The Eircell-Vodafone Hurling All-Stars of the last two years depart for Argentina later this morning, where they will play an exhibition game at the Hurling Club of Buenos Aires on Saturday.
