Nope, I said it to the boss and he is going to specifically request that anglers have access when/if the project goes ahead - be nice to have a proper deep water mark in Galway accessible to shore anglers!
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

KStaff winning matches is the new black.

Not if you turned up and found a cruise liner, 2 oil tankers and the Celtic Explorer tied up alongside!
