The fishing and boat hire from Kilrush and Kilkee could be advertised far better
It's something great for a stag group, even attracting people from abroad and getting money into the locality
And Irish people would do it too, I loved it
But not many people know about it......
Not sure who handles this for the Mid West but could be done better, it's something Clare has the rest of Mid West doesn't0 -
If there's one thing the country lacks it's an ice hockey arena
Only one I know of is in Belfast
You could have regional teams, it could be main venue for Ireland
And the locals could have underage teams like they do in GAA.
Could get money from RTÉ to show the games
The best squad could play with Belfast and the other teams in the UK in the league.
And it'd be open for the locals, bring someone on a date, bring the kids on a Sunday and so on.
If you wanted figure skating a tutor and classes could be setup.
There will be something organized every day
If I were a millionaire and willing to take a risk I would give this a go
There's a gap in Ireland. Not even Dublin has this
The GAA might be doing something like this if they there was a purpose built Ice Hockey rink/arena was built in Clare

An arcade that doesn't suck. Again, probably only viable in a place with higher population density and if we turned the clock back 25 years.
Ennis Leisureplex just got their first new game in about 8 years and it's probably the worst racer of all time.

Why would the GAA object to a ice hockey area?
Could even use it for cross training, work on the auld shoulder jostle and nasty tackles that ice hockey is known for
Ollie Baker can be trainer
They might see the sport as a threat...come on, my local GAA club doesn't have a Gaelic Football team and object to having one on the grounds that it will distract from the hurling. As a result there are local lads playing hurling for their club but playing football with the neighbouring club 5 miles away.
I think hurling is a fantastic game to watch but the petty stuff that goes on in the club game is tiresome.
Anyway, ice-hockey is ghey, what with all the padding and protection 0 -
Most GAA pitches were Ice hockey rinks for three months last year!

Hockey is awesome. I have been playing since I was old enough to remember. I played for my uni sure.
It's the only sport where you can take off your helmet and gloves and bare knuckle box and they won't stop you. In fact, when it does finish (when ye hit the ground) the worst you get is they send you off to sit down for two minutes and drink some gatorade.
That being said my team was kicked out of the league two years in a row for extreme conduct. Our goalie knocked out a ref one year and the next we led the league in penalty minutes to the point they voted to bar us from the league for two years.
Our motto was if we can't beat em, we will beat em.
People used to say they thought they were at a boxing match and then a hockey game broke out.
I like hurling and football, but you just don't get the same level of fist contact there sure. 0 -
