Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The outside pace Larmour and the O'B's gave Leinster in the second half made a huge difference. Getting Keenan and Ringrose back will only add to that. Seeing either of the O'B's getting the ball in space and pinning their ears back was refreshing. Also loved Larmour's step try, - I'll step the thir...

The NGOs handing out tents makes no material difference to the situation FFS. People on here will happily point the finger at anyone else but get all up in arms when it’s suggested government actions may have contributed to what we are seeing. Frustrating.

Oh I agree, they are using the asylum seekers to further their own political agenda without giving a shit about the asylum seekers themselves.
The government should just stop funding (and you can be sure they will be getting government funding) whoever it is.

There are no solutions to this. Get property while you can and get rich. There won’t be a non-millionaire home owner in Ireland by 2050.
