I did (5) and (18) this week. On (20) my parents spend a lot on World Book Encyclopedias when I was about four. And I read them from cover to cover over the years. Charlie is right only assholes do (9) and XtraVision was the Irish Blockbuster which Blockbuster bought in 1996. So 19/20

The State, uniquely, is in a position to react differently. Instead of making better decisions, they just decide they'll make it too hard to sue them, and then they carry on breaking the law exactly the way they were beforehand.

I mean, if an ordinary person or business kept getting sued and kept losing, it would be forced to think "hmm, how do I start complying with the law, because this is getting very expensive?!"

Dept of Finance report on economy says: "Continued inward migration will be vital to maintain growth in the labour force." So the debate on migration really needs to be around how friendly and welcoming we can make this country.

Well, this isn't concerning at all. The biggest cause of deaths in Ireland between the 1880s and 1950s. The slow moving droplet disease that thrives in poverty and overcrowding. In 1949 a policy of universal vaccination was introduced, but ceased in 2015.

I fear we're ill-prepared to discuss this issue with enough maturity. My sense is that too many Irish people reflexively point to our neutrality as a given, without real thought about what it means. If the triple lock + EU Presidency can trigger a debate on this, that's a good thing.

Your reminder that racism and fascism are inherently anti-democratic ideologies, and thus are owed nothing by democrats or democratic systems. Under no circumstances do you have to "hear them out", nor should anything be changed to suit them. Ever.

Hence why we end up with increase in racism and hate because it is allowed go unchallenged and in fact given fuel rather than reflect on govt inaction on so many issues like housing, health, infrastructure etc.

Someone said the election was a menu and you could only select from the menu. But listen itâs the blandest white bread hang sangwiches versus a more thoughtful sandwich with some rather unpalatable nettles included. And the menu would not have been improved by stale bread served on a âŹ20k plate
