GAA in danger of following banks down spoof street

FIVE of us were sitting in the canteen last Wednesday.

It was the usual crew with sport, news and features represented. Different departments, but one common denominator. Nearly everyone was broke.

The five-week gap since our last payday was being cursed. One diner would be living on €20 for the next week. A colleague eyed him jealously. He was already completely skint. I have no doubt similar conversations are being carried out the length and breadth of the country. Things are tight.
