Re abortion, the report also makes clear that the availability of abortion in Britain was one of the reasons the homes improved their standards and treatment of women. The realisation that an alternative option existed was what started change. I suspect that there was a slow spread of knowledge whi...

The report references the Scottish and Dutch equivalents as comparators. Treatment was far better than their Irish equivalent, but they existed. One issue that's gotten very little coverage is that adoption rates were much lower in working-class Dublin, i.e., they were much more likely to keep thei...

In the sector you’ve highlighted maybe not, they’d have taken more care if so. Have you sold your Tesco shares yet? Iceland + M&S too. Don’t own any of them, I’d buy Tesco though, as I said of their Irish business was relevant they’ll look after it. I doubt they’ll bother. Once again it’s Ireland e...

I think the food producers in the EU very much want to keep the UK population as clients. I think UK producers probably care about the wealthy populations of the EU . I don’t think anyone is making a decision based upon tiny bits of the market in general. You mean your 5th largest trading partner i...

Maybe they actually just didn’t care. That might be right bimbo. The question now will be should both jurisdictions bother trading food produce, EU->ROI, or should we just consciously uncouple this trading relationship, and we (ROI) couple with our EU brethren. I think the food producers in the EU ...

We imported Japanese second hand cars in the past, think the ‘90’s. Was a thing for a while. We’re buy from NI going forward provided the prices are attractive. If your government sort out the 20% VAT nordies have to pay for imported from Britain, maybe that’ll work. If memory serves me correctly t...

Remember when Trump suggesting the US buy Greenland and Sen insisted it was a good idea worth considering?

Free travel area between UK and Ireland could benefit Irish tourism with more UK visitors who don't want EU travel restrictions (and who do want the duty-free). My £8 bottle of whisky agrees that the return of duty free is a benefit. I have updated the op accordingly. I could have mentioned it myse...

This is a thread of record for the benefits of Brexit. Now that we are a fortnight out of transition it is time to start assessing the tangible positives. Elsewhere we have only negativity, but somewhere there must be something positive. It is the Life of Brian moment, "What have the Romans ever don...

More seriously though, much much more seriously, Why didn't it cost £15? I would imagine that would be because there is a cost for the food plus the packaging and then the distribution.

How much of this is the fault of puritans who block giving the parent a voucher for £30 that is redeemable in any supermarket.

I've been watching 5/6N since the 60's.
The biggest dissapointments were losing to the welsh in the Arms Park during the 60's & 70's.
