I'm not sure what the sentence actually means but it suggests that the current mismanagement in which the HSE is run doesnt result in people's deaths and any change to that approach would result in more deaths.....which i dont believe is true....but hey, thats just right winger me ! If nurses went ...

completely agree with 1st bolded bit, what baffles me is the disconnect between the first bolded bit and the second bolded bit ; given the performance of the HSE and the huge and every increasing amounts of tax payers money being thrown at them every year there should only be one winner in terms of...

Is the issue with driving not largely down to people using phones, etc, more?

If we were going for three in a row large parts of the country would be calling for the province to be disbanded as a rugby organisation. That's how success goes in this country. Bono put it really well: "In America when they see the rich guy in a mansion on top of the hill they think, one day if i...

Is it worth paying for them?

It could apply to both.
Medical consultants have legal responsibility in the end. If you can convince one of their colleagues to torperdo their career and testify against them.

Pay is now £30k for beginning teachers here which is probably 35k euro. Has there been an increase in the max to go with that? You also need to factor in higher cost of living Unless you live in Ballygofingeryoursister most ROI cost of living is much more than in NI thus the need for higher salarie...

Earl/Winnie, like I said, I'm ignorant of the situation in Ulster schools and not pretending to know the answer, nor will I pontificate about what should be done.

Professionalism. Gotta love it. Also, importantly, the need to accurately value tradition within the system. I'm far from sure that's been done. If it had been, then Munster, for example, would likely be based out of Cork. Demographics and potential upside vs tradition. TP would have been modernize...

Hmmmmm. Forgive us for not building more fee-paying schools in thriving metropolitan areas and restricting them to single sex intake, excluding other team sports and hiring professional coaching staff. Because that's what a secondary school should be for. there's definitely some truth to CM's post ...

Obviously great news if you're a Leinster fan as he's a fantastic player. But in the grand scheme of things 200K* that could definitely be spent on loads of other more important things in Leinster (including a TH) or across the Irish rugby system. Yes he may end up making a couple of contributions ...

The last week was ROG's moment of hubris, egged on by the absolute knobs in the Irish media. Dragging munster into that mess as well. Boy his face must be red.

Well, their support has dropped to 23%. They were slaughtered in the 2019 locals (or whenever it was) and bounced back. Those local elections were odd. It's why they were cautious in the general election and ran fewer candidates than they could, probably, have returned. SF will definitely make huge...

So the case was irrelevant whether won or lost for the plaintiff? I mean we have a legal system based on precedent and the luck of the draw as to which judge you get, you're not convincing me there'd be no retrospective challenges if it had gone the other way. But either way, risk is calculated bas...

What actually happened CM, and as AJ knows, is that plaintiffs legal teams held back on their cases until the Supreme Court decided. That is they started the cases, which meant the Insurance companies had to make provisions at the old rates, but didn't proceed too quickly whilst waiting for the dec...

Who has taken what the insurers have said at face value?

Every squad needs its journeymen. I'd say the three provinces you mention have a few players knocking about who would aspire to being just that. Or who have been that, perhaps (perhaps not) deservedly, but through age/mileage are no longer hitting those dizzying heights. There are two tasks needing...

Following this mornings SC decision, it would appear that the personal injury claims 'payola' is finally coming to an end. And if you won't get any more money by going yo court, the PIRB is going to get lots of business, freeing up lots of court time. https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/202...
