They have won seven of the last nine All-Ireland senior football titles between them but for either Kerry or Tyrone, today would represent the end of the 2012 championship road. Here’s how it all unfolded.
Has there ever been a All-Ireland football round three qualifier clash to whet the appetite as much as the meeting of Kerry and Tyrone tomorrow? Here’s the lowdown on a fascinating clash.
Both Limerick and Tipperary experienced hurling highs last weekend with All-Ireland SHC qualifier and Munster SHC final victories respectively. Tonight the focus was on U21 action as they squared off in the Gaelic Grounds.
The Roscommon side that claimed a famous victory over Armagh last time out have been entrusted with the task of repeating the feat against Tyrone on Saturday.
They have a Munster SHC quarter-final win over Limerick under their belts but Tipperary boss Declan Ryan is on his guard ahead of Sunday’s journey south to face Cork.
Miguel Delaney is just out of a Bayern Munich press conference in which he found the manager less optimistic than the mood around the Bavarian capital.
A MOTION OF no confidence in the Minister for Justice will be debated in the Dáil next week with Fianna Fáil claiming Alan Shatter’s position is now “untenable”.
The opposition party has been fiercely critical of the Fine Gael deputy’s handling of an ongoing row with Independent TD Mick Wallace.
“The Minister has shown extremely poor judgement of late. In particular, he used private information he received from the Garda Commissioner to undermine an opposition TD on Prime Time last week,” Niall Collins charged.
Shatter is currently facing two investigations by the Data Protection Commissioner and the Standards in Public Office Commission over his actions. He was also forced to clarify the nature of an incident where he was breathalysed by gardaí but could not complete the test because of asthma.
Although the motion of no confidence is unlikely to pass (as the government can table a counter-motion), TheJournal.ie wants to know what you think. Is Alan Shatter’s position as minister untenable?
