Can they do this to a Cork man???

Commercial property owners definitely lobbied hard and used the threat of another banking collapse to scare the government.

My conspiracy theory (not a theory) is that Covid gave the government the means to alleviate pressure on housing, transport, and public services, and breathe new life into regional towns, by promoting remote work. Instead, it prioritised the interests of the property and managerial classes.

The thoughts of being up in the nosebleeds of the Hogan Stand for fkn boxing? Couldn't give me a ticket.

*Statues of Jesus* have more legal protections than Palestinians or Lebanese civilians, who you can slaughter in droves without complaints

every problem in ireland can be explained by that graph that went around last week showing irelands GDP to dogshit low infrastructure spending. That's it! "Why is {x} in Ireland so bad", put a finger to their lips and point to the graph. People living in sheds in gardens? Bus times? Riots? The graph

Tried to work out where near Kells in Meath this is and Google AI tells me it's the signature of Guy de Maupassant🙄

If you go to irishgenealogy.ie, you can search birth, marriage, and death records, which is a good way of filling in the blanks around the census.

I have one great grandfather who died at 71 in 1926 and was already a widower when he married my great grandmother at 45 in 1912 (...)

The Venn diagram of people who still buy broadsheets and people who realised they're on the verge of a tax free income bump for life is close to a circle

Joined up government thinking.
You can use your profits from the Simon Harris government savings scheme to build a shed in your back garden which will yield even further profits from extortionate rents.
Because you're worth it.

Stealing this and calling it a Mícheál Martin shed

I like the bit they do where they share everything leading Democratic politicians say and do and agree how spineless and pathetic it all is, then still wheel out ‘should have voted for Harris’ every few weeks. Pure dissonance.

It was 30 years ago.

Just like there was an obsession with the 80s in the last decade.

Just like there was an obsession with the 60s during the 90s, and there was an obsession with the 50s during the 80s.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the likes of Mícheál Martin and Simon Harris (and Leo Varadker and Enda Kenny before them) are absolutely blessed that the Brits are running an absurd clownshow next door.

Why yes: the lovely, good-humoured, competent and caring Filipino or Filipina nurse who's looking after you has to live in a four-to-a-room bunk bed tenement in Blessington Street.

lol.

Liverpool should have made Kelleher the number 1 last season. Allison was already far too injury prone and the Georgian lad looks like a spoofer.

Was just in a pub and 4 Gardai came in (3 men, 1 woman). They sat down to have lunch. Then a Mexican bandit, with two bandoleers and a massive moustache said “We don’t like your type around here” and he shot them. The whole place cheered. Then we started kicking their bodies to bits, cheering.

There’s UFC on a telly in the pub I’m in and my God there’s something seriously wrong with you if you enjoy watching this. Christ almighty.

No new crap. Play Creep.

No particularly mad shit in my family tree. A couple of contested wills (over land, of course) and a great great grandfather who drowned on his farm in Laois at 47 after being seen “with drink taken”.

I tried to do family tree stuff and couldn’t work out wtf was happening until I found out about the pension being introduced in 1909

Dozens of old people just got off my train at Templemore so now I have questions about Garda recruitment strategies.

The amount of fucking off these uneasy people need to do can be measured in astronomical units.

What’s it looking like in Mexico and Canada? Is the gouging limited to the Land of the Free-to-fleece?

It’s an interesting dilemma isn’t it? A green transition is urgently required, yet private interests can hold that requirement (and therefore the customers/citizenry) to hostage. What to do about a state that only offers ‘market’ solutions to infrastructure problems?

Nick Leeson’s Frankenstein Club are right up there on the list of clubs I love to see us beat

Me neither. Up there with never seeing Avatar for me now.

Getting mad at Senator Eileen Flynn for saying a thing that has been proven 100% correct by the reaction of the people getting mad at her.
