GAA club gave free wine but charged us for minerals

I WRITE with a certain amount of regret at the attitude of Mallow GAA to non-drinkers as portrayed by local management at a function held to celebrate the official opening of their magnificent new complex at Carrigoon recently.

My wife and I, both life-long teetotallers, attended a concert featuring Liam O’Connor and his troupe to mark the opening of the complex.

We had looked forward to this treat as we had seen O’Connor advertised for his summer season in Killarney at, I think, €35.
