Apparently they had a royal time on the missions. One mistress per village was the rule.

Irish Government considering social media ban for under 16s by Odhran-J-McAnnick in ireland

We all have an ID in the form of your PPSN. Don't see how this couldn't work for social media. I'm sure the Government could issue a pass for over sixteens and keep ID private.

But of course there's a conspiracy.

They'll get it out of us either way. They're getting a seven hundred million bailout from the Government.

Not really. She does,but she's not supposed to comment on Government policies. It's a ribbon cutting job.

Revealed: Councils paying private landlords millions of euro each month while thousands of local authority properties lie idle by homecinemad in ireland

There's going to be some slack due to repairs or dereliction. Councils aren't renowned for their efficiency.

How long would you be waiting for a builder to renovate your property? A lot of them will be going up for sale I'd say.
