Do you go after the catholic church or the protestant one?
I've seen people try and sue County Councils over safety at beaches.

Didn’t some eejit get a big bag of money for breaking his neck diving into murky water at the forty foot?

So it was a british company ICL that developed the somewhat shitty software - anyho, good article in the Economist about the mess.

Ended up in court last week - I had read about it but hearing it from the mother juts defied belief. It’s an absolute miracle that child survived. I would usually defend the overworked medical staff but in this case they just f**ked up badly. 200k settlement or so? Maybe don't leave batteries on th...

Lads if you do nothing else today listen back to today’s Joe Duffy interview with the mother of the infant who swallowed the button battery in Galway - utterly terrifying. Joe Duffy? Can you summarise? Ended up in court last week - I had read about it but hearing it from the mother juts defied beli...

It'll be like watching a traveller encampment finally leaving town after three weeks of mayhem.

Gavin Duffy

Glad we agree on the best way forward. Sooner they are gone the sooner Gazinians can start to recover. So, Plow on? Jesus, okay. Never met someone who'd condoned the continued wiping out thousands of kids before. Don't think I'd fancy meeting you in real life. Not sure that's what I said. So your w...

The welsh would thrive just like worcester, london irish and the jersey reds.

I don't know, just thinking out loud really. Not tightening the bolts etc correctly is not an obvious timesaver with modern equipment I guess, so perhaps there was a more prosaic cause like incorrect tightening torques or poorly performing equipment.

Gavin Duffy

I think an inspection of every single bolt on every aircraft is probably the way to go before they fly again. How the fvck can they deliver with loose bolts? Human error. The biggest risk to aviation safety. Human error is taken out of play if the systems are in place. Instead, while human error ma...

I'd be surprised that they'd found accomodation immediately next door to me that had been unused for a decade to be honest. But there are many multiples of 50 blokes being housed in the neighbourhood around me and I remain unmurdered :thumbup: The accomodation is also in the middle of a town, it's ...

They had the local FF councillor on Radio 1 this morning talking about how it was this specific "denomination" of asylum seekers (i.e. men) that was the problem. Gavin Jennings pushed him on it but he just kept weaseling about. It's young men specifically that are a concern given that they are by f...

There's one other guy in and he has Radio 1 on. Interviews with people about the protests in Balinrobe. Stupid racist cúnts. Some last saying that having a bunch of men in the hotel next door to a school is a problem. Reporter should have asked why. Are all brown men paedo's? Some local community l...

What are Ireland's numbers? We do April to April for some reason and it was 140k last April, 100k the previous. That's coming in not net which I think is like for like with yours. Not too dissimilar between both countries tbf. Despite our inferior infrastructure. I'd actually forgotten about their ...

Maybe we can send them over to the Netherland so? Win-win?

Gavin Duffy

Most people support immigration. Most people oppose illegal immigration. Some people oppose all immigration. Some people don't even agree that illegal immigration exists, even conceptually. The latter two categories are where our problems lie. Fortunately they remain a manageably small minority, for...

I think some of you need to get back to work and a regular routine .

Why? I know you're dutch and you probably just f*ck your dead into the nearest composter or whatever on your way to work or a football game, but us Irish still care about the passing of our loved ones.

Gavin Duffy

I wasn't trying to provide a way forwards, I was highlighting the quickest and simplest way for Gazinians (including Hamas) and Israelis to stop dying. Well then yes, one side surrendering would do the trick Exactly. If only the IDF would surrender and fudge off back to russia everything would be s...

Pray tell how you know the ECJ would have blocked us implementing a measure to help us reach net zero. Or are you just guessing?

One of the scumbags that featured on that documentary about the Gardai in Blanch apparently. Sounds absolutely horrific for the innocent bystanders. Missed that doc? Seems that the dead guy was the attacker. Guy still injured was the target. What sort of Dealz hitman gets stabbed while attacking a ...

Moving out of the occupied territories and no longer building settlements wouldn't change anything. Israel has been under attack since the very first day of its existence. Pretending that would change with anything short of their annihilation doesn't seem accurate. Somebody needs to make am start a...

I think bibi's role in this, in particular in propping up hamas for years in order to weaken the pa has been incredibly ignored by many to date. The chickens will come home to roost eventully. The consequences of the Netanyahu government’s brutal response to the grotesque Hamas attack on October 7th...

Sorry, when you asked if I had read anything on Palestine, I clearly made the erroneous assumption you had as well.

Yes and OK not ever single day since its existence but its pretty infrequent that someone hasn't been declaring war on them or firing weapons from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan or Egypt or Palestinian areas or sneaking people over the borders to attack then. But I am pretty sure you already knew that. The...

The brits aren't in the EU so the ECJ ruling doesn't apply - unless they move to Belfast maybe :shock: This 100%, the reality is that the EPL doesn't need a European Super League. It seems to be something that has been set up to rival the EPL. So why did all the main english clubs try to jump into ...
