Probably a fair(ish) result in the end. But I would comment that it is easier to put kilos on the young Irish lads, than teach the young English skills and nous. Kilos won't help them scrummage. My point still stands. We get just one decent prop a year, is all we need. England are sending out u/a t...

Yes. You do realise that design work on the alignment for Metrolink commenced in 2017, and the surveys would have been a relatively early process tying in with the 2018/2019 geotechnical investigations; and the buildings surveyed were the buildings in situ at the time. The application for a railway...

Ah Cam, you're not that naive. I'm sure you read the paragraph I highlighted by quoting. They'll need to discreetly find a way to fix whatever oversights - or undersights - they've made. Being only able to survey what's physically there is not naivety, it's reality. I'm pretty sure they've inspecte...

One wonders how much money has been spent drawing up the plans. It’s the Pat Kenny bar stool expert on the children’s hospital all over again. You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Metrolink made its application for a RO in September 2022. The alignment work would have been done several years before this, when the now demolished buildings were still in-situ. The top of the metrolink tunnel is 15 m below gl, that is probably 8-9m below foundation level of any double basement. T...

I'd be very surprised as the top of the tunnel will be some 15m below ground level.

Duff, not having a go at you because I'm genuinely interested but why do you think marriage needs special status in our constitution?

Are the stories not all about Charlemont? They are anytime I spot them anyway. Lots of connected home owners putting the pressure on. What's ridiculous is that they're just finishing up a huge project there with massive groundworks. I can't believe (or should that read, sadly can) that they didn't ...

Could you post a link please ?, as I can't find it in today's Examiner. Lenihan did write an article for the Examiner in December about Irish rugby finances, when Snyman was confirmed to Leinster for next season, and if that is the source, I have no problem posting the article here. https://www.iri...

So that building by Tara St station is dead in the water. Shame. Should probably be just a station / shopping centre / hotel. I don't think it was known that Metrolink would be integrated when it was given over to Ronan. Tara is a kip and not befitting of the status it is getting or it's location. ...

I saw the most in-depth review into the funding model of the Irish teams today, it’s on the Irish examiner? I think, and twitter. It’s paid for so I’ll sum up. The ‘ers’ operate on a salary budget above the top 14 before the tax breaks are taken into consideration, whereas Connacht is above the Eng...

There's definitely an element of Lansdowne big game fatigue as well. Pretty sure half the stadium isn't open for the Leicester game, if Leinster have a load of quickfire knockout games will struggle to get 30k I'd imagine. It's a shame because there were big crowds at the Munster and Stade Francais...

Try Scarlets 19 - 7. Cammy while you are there, whats a decent pub in ranelagh these days to have a good pint (and get a seat). Dont want food, just a couple of pints of G Only seeing this now. Not that you can get a quiet pint in Ranelagh these days, but best bet is either Birchalls or Humphreys.

Connacht should have had another two or three tries.

I hope it doesn't come back to haunt them against the wind.

And what about Dan Kelly ? As said above, England just as prone to it as any other country. That's possibly the worst example i can think of. Why ? Plays Ireland up to U 20.

I don’t know if any of you read Rugby World Magazine but in the June 2023 edition, page 98, the secret rugby player says that he doesn’t like the naturalisation rules from residency and brought up the case of Devon Toner and Jean Kleyn.
