Taxpayer supports more than one sport

I WOULD like to take issue with David Corkery’s comments during a recent rugby discussion on RTE 2.

The show was broadcast live from Clanwilliam rugby club in Tipperary.

During the show, Mr Corkery made two rather extraordinary statements: “The success of the Munster rugby team has meant that kids who up to six or seven years ago could be seen going around with a hurley in their hand now have a rugby ball, which is great”.
