Disgraceful

Because we are greedy for life & this week has been an abundant shower of BRILLIANCE … Mick & Charlie are at the Helix this evening for the MIGHTILY MAGNIFICENT John Cooper Clarke! He is signing books for them before the performance which will then be on sale!

Scale it back, increase the GAA's contribution, and have a stadium the community can use. The current plan was too costly, too large for local infrastructure, and the crowd sizes would have brought Andersonstown to a standstill on match days. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
