The Victorian bandstand, constructed in 1887, is ordinarily not accessible to the public , due to its fragile nature, the OPW said. “This had not caused issues previously, as the public respected the small gate at the bandstand and its specific purpose for music performances and readings organised ...

Any point in haggling with the insurance company on my quote? It has gone up two years in a row, but still by far the cheapest I can seem to get.

FFS, I'm still waiting for my appointment to be confirmed by text. All my mates have got their appointments since yesterday for tomorrow or Saturday in the Aviva. I wonder if Citywest is progressing a bit slower. Now waiting 15 days for an appointment since registering. Doesn't sound right. Registe...

I know there'd be a lag but cases are just plodding along at the 3-400 per day region, no sign of a spike yet from extra socialising or additional re-openings, and I am guessing it isn't going to materialise.

If you don't want people gathering on the streets, just open up. This. The solution is not hard - open the fuc k ing pubs and restaurants. Yep.

Plans to ease lockdown restrictions further in July will have to be reviewed if there's evidence that people aren't following the public health guidelines, Oh just fúck off.

“Hospitalisations, deaths and outbreaks – anything associated with the vaccinated populations have collapsed,” Dr Henry said.

Someone really needs to tell NPHET to fudge off. 105 mins restriction - why not 100? Why not 110? WHERE IS THE SCIENCE INVOLVED IN THIS RESTRICTION? Useless measures with figures pulled straight out of thin air which will hopefully be openly ignored by every establishment throughout the country. It...

About 45% of adult population with a first dose now apparently, according to Paul Reid. There are about 3.7m adults I think, so 45% is 1.66m and 50% is 1.85m, so around 200k in the difference which we should easily do in a week at the current rates. So this time next week should be over the 50% mark...

Talking with a mate in construction last week, so usual caveat with anecdotal conversations. He was saying that you'd need to rent a two bed apartment at 2k a month to cover the cost excluding land. Assuming 5% yield over 20 years, that apartment would need to be sold at 420k to cover costs. That's...

Have they stopped doing the vaccine numbers since the hack? That's a shame, as ridiculous as this sounds but I genuinely felt a lift from seeing 40 and 50k people getting vaccinated a day, gave a sense we're finally getting somewhere.

Are you, or any one close to you trying to buy their first home? Of an age to be doing it. But it's still not a problem. The number of houses being bought by funds is low.
