Then you have the people who make themselves homeless. They aren't sleeping on the street or in their car but have surrendered or refused accommodation to remain on the housing list for their preferred location. This is a lot more common than you think. Take Dublim, for example, Northsiders dont want to live on south side etc etc. The same may apply to Athlone peopl3 not wanting to live in Moate or Kilbeggan etc. They refuse the accommodation to stay on list and make themselves technically homeless to stay high on the priority list. Then you have the element of society that are almost impossible to house longterm. They make themselves homeless through anti social behaviour etc. When you strip it all out the numbers of irish people who are genuinely homeless and on the street is low. I know that it should be zero but I come in contact with people of all walks of life in my job and I have never met an irish person that is sleeping on the street or car longterm ( more than a week or so) that isnt in the second category . Ive met lots that give out about the housing situation and claim to be homeless but all had a roof over their heads and most had been offered accommodation that they declined as the deemed it unsuitable. The reasons are mainly location but next is number of bedrooms eg offered a 2 bed and holding out for a 3 bed etc. Its a complex issue and it does everyone a disservice to simplify it as you have done Tadhg2020 (National) - 17/04/2026 12:59:42 |

I know a quality player can emerge form an unsuccessful team (Mattie Thompson for example) but if you look at the players we have brought through from Connacht winning underage teams- it does matter. I think I'm correct in saying that of all the players used in the 22 and 24 AI finals only Gleeson, Silke and Heaney did not win an underage Connacht title at minor or 20/21 level. galwayman2 (National) - 17/04/2026 14:14:30 |

2013 Burke Comer Walsh, 2017 (finalist) - MCHugh, Kelly, D'Arcy Molloy Cooke Finnerty, McDaid - this is our core group of seniors at the moment, what a team that was by the way. 2020 - Flaherty, McGrath, Fitzgerald, Glynn, Hernon, Tierney - next core group There is some correlation between strong underage and strong senior sides. ahsure.
