Ballaghaderreen part of County Roscommon but part of Mayo GAA. Is Ashbourne the next area to move into a different GAA county from where it belongs and have the Dubs successfully invaded it? :-) sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 17/09/2019 18:45:08 2236761 Link

I have no problem with that. However the manner in which the credit union acted was disgraceful and Bryan menton was absolutely right to call them out on it. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/09/2019 18:59:00 2236767 Link

In 1898 it Was transferred to Roscommon can't hardly blame them for not transferring gaa wise to Roscommon. Not really the same Ashbourne has been colonised by dubs and they aren't like anyone else going to give up their county of birth. Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 17/09/2019 19:07:03 2236771 Link
No. Just because whoever does the social media for the local Credit Union goes overboard with their congratulations for the Dubs 5 in a row should not be construed as a club ready to abdicate from Meath to Dublin. In fact the said club has a decent chance of winning the Meath Senior Championship this year. oldsam_newsam (Meath) - Posts: 638 - 17/09/2019 19:15:22 2236776 Link
It is now part of the greater Dublin area, they'll be changing the border officially soon :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8585 - 17/09/2019 19:22:21 2236780 Link

It's not only the credit union (who actually asked a dub sub to open it ) but the bus thing previously, it's getting irritating now and delighted that the Meath capt called them out on it. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/09/2019 19:31:57 2236787 Link
Replying To realdub: "It is now part of the greater Dublin area, they'll be changing the border officially soon :D" I did not realise that you had agreed to divide you county into 2 - how would that effect the sponsorship? Would you have to get another fleet of vans to carry the kit around, or would the drivers do the extra work with a bit of overtime? browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 17/09/2019 19:32:21 2236788 Link
We want Ballaghaderreen playing in Roscommon.We're not worried about Ashbourne at all.Both Meath and Dublin are populous enough to compete at the top.Meath just don't seem to have their structures right.Roscommon only has a population of 65000 so we can't afford to be without Ballaghaderreen.I think Mayo's population is around 130000,twice ours. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2154 - 17/09/2019 20:17:28 2236802 Link

Menton came across a little silly and petty to be fair. The Credit Union is a community based organisation that put up a post congratulating the Dubs because they know that a lot of their members are Dubs living in the locality. Also I'm sure that the Ashbourne Credit Union's catchment area extends into North County Dublin as well to around the Rock's homeplace in Ballymadun, Co. Dublin, so Menton's rant looks fairly ill-informed for a man from the locality. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 17/09/2019 20:37:35 2236821 Link

Which is just outside Ashbourne but in North County Dublin. About a 2 minute drive but over the border. There is a lovely country pub out there called the Foxes. Call in and have a pint or a coffee next time your in the area, you'll enjoy yourself. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 17/09/2019 20:55:56 2236833 Link

He has never lived a day in Dublin all his life. Garristown is in Meath. Geography and all that. Garristown is NOT in ballymun. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/09/2019 22:03:15 2236871 Link
