“I couldn’t vote for Sinn Féin . . . I think they are too extreme and I think they are not forward thinking,” says Joe Tobin of the Moynalty horse chase. He said he was worried the economy was overheating and there were signs of the boom of the Celtic Tiger before the bust of the crash. “I’m worried there is a crash not far away.” The “nonsense” over the €9 million spent on mobile phone pouches annoyed him as did other examples of reported overspending. Nevertheless, he hoped the present Government would be re-elected because they had done “good within reason but I think they could do better”. Evidence of Government largesse is obvious in the club. It has two floodlit pitches, three astro-pitches and a spacious clubhouse which was opened in 2019 by local TD and Minister for Justice Helen McEntee along with former Ireland international Richard Dunne: https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/2024/10/22/moynalty-horse-chase-i-wouldnt-vote-for-sinn-fein-they-are-too-inexperienced/
