No poll comfort for Board
And while today’s Irish Examiner/Red C opinion poll offers comfort for the striking Rebel hurlers and footballers, there is no such succour for the beleaguered Cork County Board or its embattled football coach, Teddy Holland.
More than half (56%) of people living in Cork polled on Thursday support the ongoing strike action of inter-county players, with 23% of those polled disagreeing with the players’ defiant stance. If there is some comfort for the County Board, it is in the percentage of those polled who offered no opinion or could not make up their minds — 20%, or one in five persons polled. That figure is considerably higher than on any of the other subjects dealt with in today’s exclusive survey.
