Colin Sheridan: Backroom team employment boom is completely bonkers

I do realise that all Cavan are doing is what is expected of them; by their players, their fans and GAA society generally.
Colin Sheridan: Backroom team employment boom is completely bonkers

FROM THE FRONT: Former Cavan keeper Raymond Galligan is the county's new football boss.

Last week, the Central Statistics Office announced that the number of people employed in Ireland had reached a whopping 74%, the highest rate since records began in 1998. 

What the CSO didn’t tell us is that this peak was likely caused by the Cavan County board employing just about everybody they could find on the backroom team of their new manager Raymond Galligan. Actually, it’s less a backroom team, more of a logistics battalion. Rest assured, by the time Jimmy McGuinness puts his ticket together in Donegal the country should reach full employment.
