Halloween is dusted for another year. That odd moment when fears and scares are met with a certain glee? This dynamic will persist in GAA circles over the coming months.

Persistence in discussion measures a question’s attraction. The Halloween dynamic might in another sense ‘knock the turkey out of it’. A memorable phrase I heard used by Connemara men on a 1980s building site in London, when they were expecting to stay put for a nice few months more, making Christmas and beyond.
