You can watch the sun go down on Galway Bay, but try watching a match under lights up the road?

According to the Irish Independent, a senior Garda has asked the GAA and Galway City Council to investigate the matter. Now surely that should be the other way around? Or maybe Ireland has slipped so far backwards that the national police force will ask a sports organisation and a public body to investigate a matter that could have legal repercussions not to mention fraud. Is it not their job?

Superintendent Noel Kelly of Salthill Garda Station has advised Galway City Council that the signature is not his nor that of his inspector or sergeant, and has asked them to establish who signed the document.
The document was submitted as an attachment to another official letter from the Garda which, it has been established, was genuinely signed by a garda.

The signature at the centre of the investigation is believed to be on the end of an official document from Pearse Stadium regarding transport and traffic arrangements during big games and concerts and it reads ‘Garda Micheal Cusack, his mark, X.’

Pearse Stadium Development Committee chairman Frank Burke said that he was “extremely shocked” by the allegation and denied any knowledge of the document in question. He added:

“I have absolutely no knowledge of this document and can say, certainly, that nobody was authorised by our committee to interfere with any document. . . ‘”

Now, just before Talking Balls could ask (with incredulity of course) whether his committee occasionally does authorise people to interfere with any documents, he had added:

“. . .nor would we ever countenance such an action under any circumstances,” he said.

Still, it was a strange statement to make. Anyway, anyone here watch Father Ted?
