Yet another factor involved in the slow political development of the Irish here, and a Very important one, is that most of the men and women who resided in the Irish ghetto were primarily concerned with bettering themselves materially, and thus were pursuing jobs with a little more concreteness to them.

Comment: From readin the Irish News today we can clearly see a very disgruntled Gort na Mona fan, on why his players can't make the Antrim minor team.
Gort na Mona were county champs and so he has a point but still from their display in the Ulster Club Minor C'ship at St.Paul's against the Donegal champs Glenties, I think it's best if they just sat this year out.
Alot of work and development through underage is needed in Antrim, maybe they may reap the rewards in a few years time, so there's no point criticising the present Antrim minors when most of the coaches in Antrim can work at the problem themselves.

The second half was different and Saoirse dominated for much of it - forcing Clan to defend fiercely, but Saoirse's many wides were to cost dearly.
