Residents in an estate in Castlebar are living in a constant state of fear and terror due to the behaviour of Traveller families residing there. But no one knows who is housing the trouble makers. The HSE has denied it is housing them and the chair of Mayo County Council’s housing SPC said the council wouldn’t house four or five Traveller families in one private estate, so the finger points at absentee landlords and developers who are otherwise finding it difficult to rent houses.

I arrived home last Sunday evening from McHale Park exhausted after our championship match against Ballaghaderreen. Anyone involved in team management might understand what I am talking about here. Championship football really does sap the energy and those on the sideline, more often than not, end up suffering greater fatigue than those who actually play the game. It’s hard to explain, but the adrenaline starts to pump, in my case, as early as the Saturday morning, the day before the game. Our pre- match routine involved us meeting up as a group in Crossmolina at 11am for a kick about and a team meeting. It is at this time, when we began to discuss and analyse the strengths and perceived weaknesses of the opposition that the butterflies started to flutter.
