    He has no Grand Marshall brain. He needs to be out perfecting his skills on the street.

    A man who served his country well, always turned up to represent us and managed our National team, what's your problem with that?

    And who are all those 'good people' you are referring to OP?

    The Grand Marshall is actually the Women's Senior Football team and the Senior Camogie team.

    The thing about St. Patricks Day is you have to take each St.Patrick's day on it's merits.

    He'll definitely have the moral courage to carry out his Grand Marshall duties!

    Johnny is a game lad and honest, nothing wrong with that!

    I wonder as the parade is passing will he shout, "Now stop it there!"

    A true Gentleman, always served his Country well, popular, distinguished, well known, does a lot of Charity work ...

    He should be President, not Grand Marshall of a crummy Parade.

    There are good people in this years parade but where are all the great ones?

    It was better back in Johnny's younger days

    No flash and dazzle, the parades were based on solid fundamentals

    The DCC need to get the simple things right first, we'll see how he lines out on the day, this should be bread and butter stuff, Bill.
