It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you here to Semple Stadium Thurles on this most significant occasion and a match that forms part of the landmark that is the start of the 2020 inter-county GAA Championships, and also draws down the curtain on the Allianz Hurling Leagues. It is fair to say that there have been several moments when it looked as if we would not be here in this position. In many ways the world we knew and took for granted last March seems a lot longer than seven months ago. So much has been lost, and more important than the freedoms and privileges we so badly miss are the lost lives of the more than 2,500 Irish people all over the island who passed away at the hands of the coronavirus and left a void in the lives of the loved ones who mourn them. As we return to inter-county action the perils of the world we find ourselves in still exist.

  • The 3Rd Year Gazette April 2021 the 3Rd Year Gazette
    The 3rd Year Gazette April 2021 The 3rd year Gazette I am procrastinating, you are procrastinating, he is procrastinating, she is procrastinating, we are procrastinating, they are procrastinating ….. By James Corbett Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. The reason I chose to write about this today is because like most people I procrastinate but I guess it has helped with coming up with an idea for this gazette. Although on the article that "William Sydnor" wrote; he said that the student that procrastinated still got a fair grade I still believe that procrastination is the key to being a failure, eventually, it will catch up to you. In order to be successful one must manage time well. In my opinion, I think procrastination has a few stages which goes something like this: Stage 1) Having a plan all laid out to minimise workload. Stage 2) Then you usually find something else to do to get instant gratification. This is a stage that usually makes you feel good. Stage 3) But then all of a sudden you wake up one day and realise, oh no the project is due in two days. This is when you start to panic and just accept the fact that you have to do the work and realise it would've been better if you followed through on stage one. Why procrastination isn't about laziness. When we procrastinate, we’re not only aware that we’re avoiding the task in question, but also that doing so is probably a bad idea. And yet, we do it anyway.
