And I wonder about this, is if Mary Lou McDonald does go at some stage.
might we be looking at a fracture, I suppose, within Sinn FΓ©in, in the sense that you have people like Daugherty and Cotty, who I would say represent one wing of the party, but perhaps on the other side, you have people like Owen O'Brien and Lynne Boylan, who represent a younger, more progressive...

They don't feel like they're getting banked for their buck in return.

Lecturer-in-law at the University of Galway and a bit of a golf nut.
So Larry, will you be paying β¬500 a day to go and support?
Who would you support?

OK, how many people per day will be able to go to the actual competition days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
And how many of those tickets are going to be exclusively reserved in the sale this Friday for Irish residents?
I suspect a lot of them might be bought up by corporate interests.
And I suspect a lot of people will end up going to the Ryder Cup on the basis of a company deciding it wants to bring various clients.
That tends to be what happened.
Or could it be that that will be on separate hospitality packages, which will cost an awful lot more than 500 euro a day?
