Enda Kenny may not like the latest suggestion to break Mayo hoodoo

Well they might as well try anything at this stage.

Defeat was the lot for the Mayo senior footballers today and given their continued run of results, they may go to extreme measures to land Sam Maguire. Dublin ran out winners today by just a single point which means victory for their minors earlier in the day is their only success in an All-Ireland Final at senior or minor in their last 16 appearances. The curse of 1951 has been trotted out extensively, but it could also be down to a certain birth in the county that very year as RTE journalist Philip Boucher-Hayes has pointed out.

The curse has been on Mayo since 1951. Enda Kenny was born in 1951. Don't anybody do anything rash, but by now anything is worth a go. — Philip Boucher-Hayes (@boucherhayes) September 22, 2013

Of course we’re not necessarily advocating any course of action, but as desperation in the county increases, the Taoiseach may wish to take note.
