Sorry to bring up an old thread here but I had to respond to this. You are some ignorant fool.
First of all Etihad sponsor the Hurling Championship (which comprises of 13 of Ireland's 32 counties), not the "Irish Hurling team". And who the hell cares about hurling you ask? Most people in Ireland as it is one of the biggest sports in this country, which is now one of Etihad's most important destinations because of how much revenue they generate on their Abu-Dhabi - Dublin route which is now operating twice daily, which in itself proves that their sponsoring of the hurling championship has paid off.
So go off and educate yourself before coming out such tripe and making a fool out of yourself.
