1 week ago | irishecho.com | Anthony Neeson |Gerry Adams |P.J. Cunningham

Dublin 0-22; Derry 0-20 Another rousing contest which went all the way down to the wire before Dublin secured a home tie in Croke Park on Sunday against up and down Cork following their two-point win over a very unlucky Derry side at Páirc Esler in Newry on Saturday evening. Many people felt they could predict the outcome of this match on one factor - would Dublin skipper Con O’Callaghan be fit to play, or not.

Donegal 0-19; Mayo 1-15 Isn’t it funny how one man listening and one man thinking can turn a jaded old game on its head? President Jarlath Burns was the man listening to the public about how “unwatchable” Gaelic football had become and when he approached former Dublin boss Jim Gavin, neither could have envisaged how profound the changes he proposed could alter the face of the game.

The Ellington, 105th Street and Broadway -- Full of spring and the joy of life, a throng gathered to speak and sing, to carouse a little, regardless of the ongoing nonsense outside the doors.

Mayo 2-17; Tyrone 1-13 You have to hand it to Mayo - they are indeed the “great enigma” of Gaelic football. Not for the first time a Mayo team make the headlines by confounding experts with a display that had no basis on the evidence of their performances so far this year.

GERRY ADAMS: BBCNI's attempt to demonise me rejected by libel jury

THE success of my case against the British Broadcasting Corporation is an important and very significant breach of that institution's monopoly on how it broadcasts ‘news’, especially in Ireland. As I said outside the Four Courts, I took this case to put manners on this institution. I stand over that comment. The British Broadcasting Corporation is supposed to be a public service provider.
