The DL Debate with Sister Sarah's Laddercanny, serving food you'll love till 9pm daily in Sarah's Kitchen. And there's free admission entertainment every weekend. Welcome back once again, folks. I'm delighted to say I'm joining my county PRO, Sinead, Brain Sinead, out of the ashes of 2023 when there was turmoil to a level I have never seen before. We ushered in a new county board, yourself, of course, in their PRO, thanks to Mary Cawthon. And you can tell already, listen, I see bits and pieces of it there. There's a great vibe, a great working ethic now to get jobs done and promote the game. And how are you going to enjoy it? I'm enjoying it. Well, that's a question. I am living my best life as Mary Cawthon will tell you. Mary Cawthon, I suppose we are very much united. That's the first thing to say. And it's a breath of fresh air for the entire county. And to be honest, it's a breath of fresh air for me because this is what I've always wanted for years and years. When I wanted to get my chance in Donegal, GA, show them what I could do and show the ordinary people what I could bring to them. And Mary Cawthon is a fantastic chairperson. She's so dynamic. She expects us all to work. She knows there's not a whole pilot chance of holding me back to be fair. But she is incredible as a leader. She sets the bar so high herself, but she's phenomenal to work with. I don't think people get, you know, you look at where Mary Cawthon went in terms of her political career. I know from here in the Donnellow, involved with Charlie McConnell, the time and the effort. And it takes somebody with a serious brain for handling situations and bringing the best out of people. So she'd been doing that most of her life and now we're getting the benefits of that. We really are. Our county is so privileged to have a chairperson. And I am not looking up to Mary Cawthon to say she's the force to know that we would have had different political persuasions many years ago. And I couldn't be more united with the lady in what she's bringing to our county. It's absolutely incredible. She's putting in huge hours and more than myself and our fellow officers. But when I say we're united, we're very much united. We want to bring our county back. And we fully believe we are bringing our county back to where it should be. And it's an incredible opportunity for all of us. You know, we've chimed against back in. We've our horrors stronger than they've ever been. And it's a great place to be. We want to keep our county going. But we're not sitting on our laurels. We want to push on. There's an awful lot of work to do. We need to fundraise. We're in a precarious position and our treasurer has come in. And, you know, she's built to pay and she's not shirking her responsibility. She's getting stuck in. She's getting on with her Grace Boyle. She's phenomenal as well. And we're lucky to have people like Mary and Grace in there getting stuck in to put our county back where it belongs. I was just trying to just burn there about the clothes, the way the season's gone, mad mental in terms of the teams and the games. Does that put a lot of pressure on you guys? Obviously it does. Because, you know, every week there's X amount of obviously preparation and games to get ready for. So if it's happening week on week, it'd just be a thing to be an odd break. We might get a bit of downtime. There's no downtime now. What is your week like? I suppose I can only speak for myself. The role, now I can compare this. I grew up the daughter of P.R.O. in Monaghan, who my mother had two spells as a P.R.O. in Monaghan. I now know what it was like then, but I suppose social media wasn't to the forefront like it is now. So there wasn't that whole workload. But I mean, the split season is absolutely relentless for a P.R.O. Now, as I say, I'm living my best life. I'm getting on with it. I'm doing what I need to do and I'm promoting everything that I can possibly promote. But I do feel it's very demanding given that we're volunteers. Mary Coplin, she must be sick looking at me. The two of us are absolutely everything. And Grace Boyle, you know, she is putting in huge, huge, huge efforts to Declan Martin, our county secretary. You know, it's very, very, very demanding. But I have to say, I'm actually really looking forward to the club aspect. And I have every intention of putting the same 110% effort into that when it comes around, you know, for championship. Obviously, we started our club games, our league games. And I had set up our website in time for that, which is what I wanted to do when I now it was held. Huge work in the new website. How does that go out? It was, when I say Helderskatter, it was Helderskatter. I suppose me, myself and I trying to, you know, work with a development company. And they were phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal LD design in OMA. I cannot praise those people enough that hours, the stupid o'clock hours that they put in along with me cannot be praised enough. And I am forever grateful to them because I couldn't do what I have done and what I'm doing to give the ordinary people of our county what they want without those people. But I wanted the ordinary folk on the street, you know, anybody to be able to access our fixtures and they can do that now. As I say, it's a work in progress and it is a work in progress. I have a lot to add. The three ones are helping us out there. Of course, you haven't understand the man Chris down there has to tell a bit of the, as we always say, there's a background to this in terms of everybody has their way in. You obviously have a family, you know, that side of life work. So it's a tremendous amount of juggle. And I think what's coming across through it away from me, she said, did you actually love your GA woman? You're steeped in it and this side of things. I suppose it's, you know, it's a passion. So you're approaching it in a great way from the get go of getting things done. Listen, I suppose my husband met me when I was 18 and he knew that my aspirations were always to go as far as I could go in the GA. He proposed to me at the point where is Sean McKay, the force model and GA president ever entered into the county when he was. So my husband was under no illusions that it's the GA. We come as a package daily ticket or you leave it and that was it. He's a soccer head. Yes, I know. As you well know. Yeah, you played against him. But yeah, look at my kids. They know this is mommy's dream. And AJ will be 16 now on Thursday. Mikaela is 14. Chirin is nearly is nearly 13 and the boss baby Christopher, he has warned me to say hello to him. He's a little Christopher. I hope you're doing well. I'm hoping he's like nearly asleep. But anyway, I can keep on dreaming. But yeah, look at third. They're great. They know that this is mommy's dream and that I want to do me best for Johnny Gaul. And they know it's my adopted county. And I love it as much as I loved my own county growing up. And there's no difference to me. We move about. That's what we do. I mean, the more myself have been here there and everywhere. You mentioned Grace there, of course, Mary. I see you be Tanya a lot of games. You've a good work relationship as well. You've brought a wee bit of glam there as well. Yeah. Tanya Roberts Brown as CLG Nadunov. Look, she's one of my best friends. She's an integral part of what I do in that where I go, she goes. Crow Park last week. That was obviously one of the more glamorous elements of it. We have had an awful lot of less glamorous days out together. I wanted to go obviously for PRL a couple of years ago. I went two years ago and I was unsuccessful. And I don't regret being unsuccessful, I have to say. But when I was successful last year, it was a no-brainer. I wanted Tanya as part of my team. She is an incredible girl like myself. She is somebody that is a mammy to a child with different needs. We both have children with physical requirements. And we get each other 100 million percent and we support each other. To see Tanya announced as chairperson of the wheelchair, Komogi and Horlan committee in Crow Park today, I was absolutely overwhelmed to the girl. While I knew it was coming, it was incredibly special and I could not be more proud of that girl. And it is so, so befitting that she has this opportunity and I know she's going to take it and make it her own. Like she does with everything. Yeah. And Sinead, we were up at the press night the last night. Funny just talking to you. You know, I would see other people do this job and they would have did what they needed to do and they go home and they forget about it. Whereas you are actually embedded. Like I could have, I could talk to you for a couple of hours. I would say, hey, no problem. We have more time in terms of issues and tickets and the season and all that. But do you think, can we impact at a national level from our ideas here in terms of what I'm getting back from a lot of people is championship starting too early. It's too condensed now. We need a break to build up the championship. You know, people are on about the families going week on week. And you know, if we go on the group stages, all the games, Jim mentioned at the last night, do you think it does need still an overhaul? I do. I'd like to keep overhauling. I do. But you know, it's not right now. Anybody that thinks that I'm going to sit in the fence and sit and look pretty and say nothing, they don't know me. No, I couldn't have agreed with Jim again as more the other night when he says, I suppose the thing that resonated with me the most was Jim said that he's the father of six children. I'm one of six children. I grew up in a family where the GA was the be all and end all. Obviously, my parents were highly involved at different levels between club and county. And our family, the six of us grew up going to games. My sister, Gronja, she was taking to her first championship game when she was two weeks old. I didn't miss a championship game until I went to my honeymoon. When I was 21. So I mean, this is the level of, you know, dedication that you're taking on. I think we need to take a look at the grassroots. Yes, I do. I do think that. And I'm not criticizing people in Club Park. They all do a fantastic job. Do we need to patch that? How do you go about doing it? I know these things. Thanks for sharing up on that. See, there's a new one that all the hype is about. I have every belief in that. There are fantastic people put into that. And I have every belief that they will bring back what the grassroots want. But it's a process. Look, it's trial and error. Same as anything in life, it's trial and error. We have to try and work with it. But I do believe that we're going to get a happy balance. But we do need it. We need a happy medium. And listen, we have a great chairman. I was just mentioned, Jarvis Burns. You can see it there. Isn't great that people just talking to you how you can see his passion for it, you know. Which is, some of them chairman have met a few times and they've been so, so like they're not inspired. And we're Jarvis Burns. I suppose he resonated with me so much. I know he's only from over the road where I grew up. But Jarvis Burns, I suppose he mentioned two things. That he went to games and bangers the cars and that just described my upbringing right there in the centre. And then he mentioned Sean McCake who obviously was a huge influence on myself. But Jarvis Burns is one of us. He's an ordinary person that has achieved his dream. And I hope to follow in his footsteps someday. Albeit I'm a different gender. But I do hope to follow in his footsteps and he is a breath of fresh air. He's what our association needed. And I have every belief that he would do his utmost. So president, president someday is up to you. Please God, yeah. There you go, probably. But look, I've a lot of targets to hit on the way. But why not? Yeah, of course. You've got a dream big. I was born to be in the GA. And that's it. But at whatever level, I don't, it doesn't bother me, whatever level once a minute. I'll tell you what you were and it's absolutely refreshing. And as I say, I would love you to come in another night because of a yarn. As the championship goes on, I think maybe in between Ulster and the group stages of the championship we could get another talk because I would love to speak some more to you. But of course time runs out as ever. We have a wee outbreak to take just before we close. I want to thank Joe Dex for producing. She need to help me and you'll be heading for Derry soon for Celtic Park for the war. And Jimmy is inside. We're going to win too. And who's that other man there? There's a couple of top DJs there. Jimmy and Paul are waiting to get on folks. I'll speak to you in a couple of weeks. I'm away and hold these next week. I'll speak to you when I get back. For your week DG news stories and analysis, join me, Brendan Venne, this Monday and every Monday for the DL debate.
