Apparently, it seems, I've heard, supposedly, this whole this is not just about noise and inconvenience at all. It's way deeper than that. Some gripe with the GAA and how they want someone's land or something, maybe, who knows. I don't anyway.

its over the handball club that used to be alongside the entrance to Hill 16 there. The handball crowd are an affiliate organisation of the GAA but not part of the organisation per se. They had their HQ there. The GAA owned it but (I think) there was some long-term lease on it. But, when the redevelopment happened it got leveled. That never sat well with the boyos who drank in the handball club. One of those boyos is yer man Stephens who is representing the residents association on most of the news programs today. He lives in Castleknock and (allegedly) has a chip on his shoulder cos he had to find somewhere else to drink.

i thought the gaa were trying to strongarm the residents into selling their community handball alley and the residents are punishing them by saying fuck your gigs

Nothing wrong with that.

Also, is it just me or does Jim Carroll bear a resemblance to the thing from the Saw films?

There's very little stoneworking going on at masonic lodges either. Do these handballers also secretly run the world?
