Tax welfare payments. How's that for solidarity. Far too many people see themselves as 'outside' society. Tbf it's one reason why it's important now that politicians turn up at ribbon cutting. It is deeply cynical but there appears to be a genuine narrative out there that the Government don't do an...

I think wage growth in the next couple of years could hurt Sinn Féin on this. All signs are that we are heading for some big growth across quite a few sectors. Once you get it into your head that €100k is achievable in your career, you won't be as cheery. The naming of their hyper tax on the "rich" ...

Nice little publicity stunt by UCC and their food bank for students. Students have always survived on pot noodles in order to save their money for nights out. What the hell did they expect? This makes a mockery of people who genuinely don’t have enough money to feed their families properly Social m...

I stopped using it around 2013/14, I'd say. Kept the account dormant for years cuz Messanger was still used in some groups. Not that I ever used it excessively even when I did.

The IT ran a NYT story yesterday wondering whether facebook was already past its peak and would go the way of Bebo etc. WhatsApp and Instagram probably have better longterm business plans than FB.

It''s a big improvement on what was there and is also good for Herbert Park. I assume they are comfortable with it as in the end they only really got a couple of weeks "use" out of it when indoor dining wasn't open.

And has Mark Moriarty been bumped up to head chef at The Greenhouse ?

He doesn't want to be a head chef.

Fairly close to the New Zealand v Japan score in the 1995 World Cup. I always enjoyed the Scenario where you tried to come back against them in Jonah Lomu Rugby.

It's deadly that Premier games aren't locked anymore.

Metro not delayed. It's just going to take 7 more years to build......

Classic MM speak.

Blackrock Bullet

Metro officially delayed. You mean we have to pay for shutting the country down for 2 years? I don't think there is any appetite in government to be the ones running a project like that again after the NCH. This is a convenient excuse. Ryan can fiddle around with maps as well and pretend as though ...

Hard and early hasn’t worked, you are in lockdown and are heading for world record territory.

Come back to us when you have your whole hospital picture completed and the costs of lockdowns are clearer. The “hard and early” mantra you adopted has faltered, and you are stuck for weeks more in lockdown.

I don't, our restrictions were too long. But we haven't been in them for months, you're just catching up, and of course you had restrictions there that we didn't for a long time as well.

And the sad thing is, even if this man died (and it's still not a given that he'll recover) they'd dismiss their part in his death and weasel out of it blaming the conspiracy.

Looks like a very unhealthy individual.

There’s a perception that Ireland’s monster debt – it will be €240 billion by the end of the year, on a per capita basis the third highest in the world, was put there by band of rogue bankers. And that we as a people have been victims of a terrible wrong. The truth of course is more sticky, more un...
