Energetic minister Aodhan O'Riordan appears to be taking his battle for equality into a new arena. Helping Gaelic Football achieve a parity of esteem with hurling. In television studio discussions at least.

Recalling the anxious handwringing that greeted Dublin's mauling of Longford, the relatively serene verdict on the Kilkenny-Wexford game last Sunday got on the minister's tits.
We're confident a constitutional amendment will not be required to get football treated with the same reverence as hurling. Good luck canvassing for that in Kilkenny.
I've a pain in my face with this GAA coverage. Dublin hammer Longford & system is in crisis. Kilkenny hammer Wexford & they're wonderful.
