Martin Breheny: What did Portugal jaunts gain Donegal and Mayo? Can fad be seen as a costly waste of money?
"Whoever signed the cheques for the Donegal and Mayo training jaunts in Portugal could possibly feel like they authorised the greatest waste of money since the €335,000 Dáil bike shed fiasco."
"Donegal journeyed to warmer climes in early April, their confidence tanks overflowing after putting 3-20 on Kerry in the Division 1 final."
"Last Sunday, they were hit for 3-21 by Down, the Division 3 champions."
Donegal's training trip to Portugal followed a successful Division 1 final, where they scored 3-20 against Kerry. However, their performance faltered in a subsequent match against Down, where they conceded 3-21. This stark contrast in outcomes raises questions about the value of the training jaunts, drawing comparisons to previous financial missteps, such as the €335,000 Dáil bike shed incident.
