Still, if we one of them as he is on international on the opening weekend of the can get back to a situation where the duty. I just can’t wrap my head season. On one hand, the result record at Oriel Park is even close to around it. Surely it has to be one or was surprising because you would what it was in 2019 then it would put the other? Either the Harps game expect Bohemians to be challenging us in a good position. gets called off because of it or, if the for the top three but, on the other, it game isn’t called off, then one of his wasn’t that big of a shock because We’re in something of a unique suspension games gets used up? everyone hates playing Harps in situation this week as two of our We don’t really have a problem with Ballybofey and, from a continuity players, Raivis Jurkovskis and Sonni him missing the Shamrock Rovers point of view, they have had the least Nattestad, are missing the game game; the problem is he will also amount of turnover to their starting because they are on international miss the game with Bohemians the 11.

Unless stick with that if we feel that’s the trick and he gives us something a you match Finn Harps for desire, best way to go. We’re not married little bit different. He’s very similar to work rate and willingness to do the to any particular system, I think the likes of Michael Duffy and Junior nitty-gritty, you’re not going to get we’re married to a set of playing but he’s left-footed and that opens anything out of the game. There was principles, but we’re not married up other tactical ideas that we’ll a time two or three years ago where to any particular formation and be able to implement. His fitness you could try and blow them out of because we’ve got so many players levels and work rate have blown the water with quality but they’ve got of quality and players who are quite everybody out of the water and he’s to such a level now that you’ve got to flexible, I think we’ll quite easily someone that we’re already excited match their desire first before you try bounce between systems throughout about.

We’re obviously very not have the same physicality while packed but it’s the same situation for disappointed by the decision. The some have tremendous physicality everybody.

I feel really good and fit so fingers crossed. “I scored a goal against Sligo but I don’t think I’ve played overly well in the games. I’m my own biggest critic so I think I’ve been alright and it’ll probably be the next few weeks before you see the best of me. “It’s no secret that I had a bad year with injuries last year but I’ve come back really well and I’ve had nothing so I’ll be doing my best to stay injury free.” A fully fit McEleney would be a huge weapon in Dundalk’s arsenal. Appearance-wise, his best season in a white shirt came in 2017 when his performances, and catalogue of spectacular goals, saw him finish as runner-up to PFAI Player of the Year award winner Sean Maguire. “I had one injury that season,” he said. “Going into the next year I set the Player of the Year award as a target but that’s when I had all of the breakdowns and injuries and it atrick McEleney will lock said the Lilywhites attacker. was the same the following year. horns with a very familiar “Was it strange?

I’m for Dundalk’s first home game about it.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019 December 2019 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 3 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,499 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 8,050 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with 90,011 households supported up to end of Q3 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.

  • The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
    33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s.

  • 1895-1970 – Non League 1970-1978 – Loi B Years
    History Friday, 01 January 2010 00:00 1895-1970 – Non league In 1895, the Catholic University Medical School Cecilia Street Football Club was founded, entering a team in the inaugural Leinster Junior League. The team's first match was against Bohemians B in October of 1895 and ended in a 2-0 defeat. November 1895 also saw the first match against Trinity with a result of 2-0 to Cathlolic University. 1898 Catholic University qualified for the Leinster Senior Cup for the first time - and we reached the semi-final. In 1908, the Catholic University merged with University College Dublin, and the team changed name with the merger. Things weren't quite settled yet, though, as we went through a series of grounds - in Sandymount, Cowper Road, Croydon Park, Fairview and Terenure before moving to Belfield Park in 1935 and now the UCD Bowl in 2008. In the meantime, though, success had been regular. In 1914, we won the inaugural Collingwood Cup - the Irish collegiate championships. The next year, UCD won the IFA Intermediate Cup, beating Portadown 2-1 in a replay in Dalymount Park. The first match had seen UCD draw in Windsor Park on St Patrick's Day. The competition was the 'IFA' Cup because in those days before independence, the IFA governed football over the whole island, and the competition involved teams from the whole island. The Intermediate Cup was one step below the Senior Cup in importance, so it was certainly of some significance. UCD were also involved in the first ever FAI Senior Cup in 1921, when they took on a non-league side at the time, Shamrock Rovers, in Windy Arbour, losing 6-2.
