Thirty years ago, life expectancy in Ireland was 75 years; today it is 83 years.

It got me thinking that 2m people would probably have been crammed into far fewer properties 100 years ago and I was wondering where Dublin sat pre famine. I never realised just how 'big' Ireland was back then with regards to population percentage. Over 30% of the UK population in the 1841 census. ...

Yep.

Both because of who he was replacing - Ruan Pienaar, and because not only was Cooney a Leinster castoff, but also a Connacht one !

I don't think we'll ever sort housing. Basically developers would need guaranteed long contracts ...many years. Will they take that risk? Government wants property prices to remain high as this is one of the ways to get wealthy in Ireland. Increase in supply will bring down values in property. I'm ...

Lads, someone on here recommended a hotel in Rome to me a couple months back, and I haven’t a clue who, but if you could please remind me which one, or if anyone else has a lead on a good place, central, close to train station and attractions, suitable for kids, much appreciated.

And SF appear to be returning to their fíorghael roots. How that will play out with the 'woke' wing of their supporters could be interesting. No doubt party members will stick to a party line, but keeping the coalition of supporters together is about to become extremely difficult. Especially if the ...

The dodgy clearout I referred to this morning. Whatever about Raynal, surely the TMO should have intervened ?

Great.

It doesn't change how the Unionist establishment treated Magennis.

And that was, allegedly, because he was rather fond of shooting German/Italian soldiers who'd surrendered. Not going to comment on his morals, as war is hell, but it was enough to make the War Office very sniffy about him.

What on earth are you basing this on? :lol: The 36th Ulster division where the only regiment of the British army to fulfill their obligation at the battle of the Somme.

I haven't looked at a recording of the match yet, but there was one Northampton ruck clearout in the first half that looked very near a shoulder to head and prompted a bit of booing at the stadium. The ref ignored it. Was it as bad as it looked ?

We were up high in the Hill, so could see everything, but very far most of the time. Watching Ross try to run after his intercept was hilarious. The important thing is that he had the rugby nous to make the intercept. That turned Northampton attacking ball into Leinster attacking ball. Personally I...

I don't think a lack of effort is an issue for many players at all. As it stands Ulster only have 2 contracted THs for next season (one of whom is regularly in international squads so unavailable and the other is on a development deal) and 2 LHs (one of whom has only about 10 games across the last ...

"We believe it's great because of our wildly hopeful assumptions on national debt and ignoring that 27% of employees in NI are in the public sector and a further 18% are reliant on services to the public sector" This has shades of the SNP independence white paper about it. i.e. completely unrealist...

We have a deal. It predates the EU (and the EEC), is not dependent on the EU, and indeed has nothing to do with the EU. It is called the Common Travel Area. Which means an open border then. Good luck. Also what has the Common Travel Area got to do with Asylum Seeker returns, also it looks like the ...

Quite the tasty little mic drop from Chris Heaton-Harris MP, at a press conference with Irish Tánaiste Micheál Martin.

The reason we're getting a surge of migrants from the UK is down to our own wonderful judiciary. By saying UK is not a safe country, the migrants have started coming here knowing we can't send them back there. There will be legislation very soon to deal with that so we can't have judges making stuf...
