Have you ever played hurling or camogie?

This week on The 42FM, Sinéad and Gavin asked how the GAA allowed hurling become a minority sport.

AFTER A WEEKEND spent at Croke Park where The 42FM’s Sinéad O’Carroll watched her beloved Kildare hurlers win the Joe McDonagh cup, herself and Gavin Cooney discussed the GAA’s failure to grow hurling across the country on this week’s podcast.

As they dissected Kildare’s rise to compete among Leinster’s elite in the Liam McCarthy Cup next year, they asked why hurling is a minority sport and how the GAA is attempting to make it right.

So today we’re asking you: Have you ever played hurling or camogie?

    What is important is that those groups most at risk from covid 19 should avail of the vaccine when it is offered to them, for 80% of the population who get the virus , this will be a mild to moderate infection but those in a high risk category need to protect themselves, this will allow all of us to return to normal living in time.

    @Honeybee: I am pro vaccine but this is not clear as if yet the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines on the vulnerable groups especially those with immunity issues as none of these patients were included in the trial. Vulnerable patients have a right to ask questions as side effects or ineffectiveness could be catastrophic for them

    tl;dr – if you are already poorly, you will fare worse with Covid.

    Who would have guessed
