I see a lot of people who are rolling their eyes at this idea. And yeah, I get it, but right now the current tax scheme really only benefits people who speculate on property and become landlords. Putting money elsewhere has a lot more taxes and complexity.

there was a young man from cork who got limericks and haikus confused

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

STICK IT ON A FIVE POUND NOTE

The bank has been robbed! Batcomputer, search for any people in Gotham with a surname like Reilly or Murphy, you know what I mean.

This St Patrick's Day is a good time to ask ourselves "why does Batman hate Irish people so much?"

There’s always money in the

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Has he considered not shelving rail projects? Not cutting funding for expansion of public transport could be worth looking at too.

This is one of these ideas that both sides of the Atlantic are mutually baffled by. I think on one of my trips to the US Google said I walked less than 850 metres in the course of a week. Which blew my mind. I walk more than that to the train station on the days I'm in the office.

Ruling sheds a small light on opaque intel-gathering on some citizenship seekers. An Garda Síochána “has developed strong links with other security services, particularly those with whom the State shares common threats to national security”, it says.

I have actually seen these birds in the wild. They're incredibly beautiful, but very loud. I normally follow this account to get use to reading descriptions in Portuguese. It's nice to see a familiar looking bird every now and then.

There’s still time to check seanadvoter.ie and get registered for the new Seanad Higher Education constituency before the February 26th deadline. Please don’t assume you’re on the list as voters on the previous NUI and TCD panels were not automatically added to this new register.

Prince Andrew arrested on his birthday of all days. How dare they. Don't they have any idea who he was?

hold on i gotta take this

Fresh Flood Warnings As Government Water Down Regulation Targeting Airbnbs

always odd when you ask somebody to keep a secret and they go "sure who would i even tell?" like that's not a comfort to me man. i don't want my secrets to be contingent on your friendlessness.

Non-lawyer chiming in here. My understanding is pretty much in keeping with what is written below. But the article mentions that points of law can be referred to a tribunal... where a judge would decide... So what is the point of having the appeal heard by a non-judge in the first place?!

It was a controversy when Catherine Connolly said she'd have to reflect on a hypothetical job applicant with a sexual assault conviction. Will the Táiniste face similar scrutiny for not already having a position on the CSAM website he actually uses?

Why is that even in the list?

Red light cameras were tested on one street in Dublin more than 10 years ago (guess which one). Proven to be effective and not a single person who was caught managed to successfully challenge it. ...and they turned it off... And did nothing with the idea until the green party was back in power.

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

It's always a bit nuts to me that the national rail company owns and operates a port that has both passenger services and freight from ships. But barely any rail services. I hope this improves in the future but this is still a positive development.

Opened my Instagram stories and there’s Willow Smith over in Los Angeles lip synching a middle aged Limerick mans experience of maintaining friendships while being autistic

Spreadsheets are for amateurs. For Christmas dinner last year I used Figma.

I'm trying to collect all the rules for the main Irish Lotto, and have managed to find quite a few (see next message). Does anyone have copies of older rules, or any from this list that I am missing?

I've never had deep fried turkey. First time someone told me about it I didn't think that it was real. And I'm still not entirely sure that it is real.

The Irish political system seems to be stuck in this same loop. I think there is a sorta scientific explanation for it. People with conservative beliefs tend to believe that more people agree with them than actually do. So every election cycle we get a new slightly too far to the right party.

I don't wear suspenders very often but I find they're usually better than a belt for keeping high/natural waisted trousers up. Especially when your moving around a lot like dancing at a wedding. And sometimes a dog is just stylish.

You know it takes seconds to look this information up right? Catherine Connolly will be our third female president. But it's okay it's not like most of us speak the same language and live on neighbouring islands lads. Easy enough mistake to make. I mean we don't even have Wikipedia here I'm sure.

i’m just so mad because if we absolutely had to elect an unqualified media personality to be president we should have gone with either of the guys from CAR TALK

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, Ireland’s new president 🇮🇪 A historic landslide for peace, justice, equality and socialism. Her victory is a triumph for hope, solidarity and a united Ireland 💚 An Phoblacht Abú!

Final result of #aras25: Electorate: 3,614,450 Votes cast: 1,656,436 (45.8%) Spoilt: 213,738 (12.9%) Valid poll: 1,442,698 Connolly: 914,143 (63.3%) Humphreys: 424,987 (29.5%) Gavin: 103,568 (7.2%) Catherine Connolly is elected the tenth President of Ireland.

"Catherine Connelly became the 10th President of Ireland with 63% of the vote. Here's why that's bad news for the Left, and good news for a Yank freak who thinks the cushions in Crumlin Childrens Hospital are covered in pro-paedophile symbols."

I was initially annoyed about the vote spoiling. If those citizens put half as much effort into literally anything else and the world could be a better place. But this would be hilarious. "Smear the be-jaysus outta her, you have nothing to lose" turns out to be worse than useless advice.

Those who do learn from history are doomed to have people tell them they’re overreacting

I think every country needs a popular pass time that at a certain level of nerdiness requires spreadsheets. In Ireland it's elections.

If you want to protest peacefully then theres a tram stop less than 10 minutes away from there and you can go into the city centre and protest outside of any number of government buildings. But no, they just wanted to pelt gardaí and people seeking asylum with bricks.
