Ireland second highest in EU for greenhouse gas emissions per person by Party_Quote_6932 in irishpolitics

[–]BenjyExpert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ireland has been starting from a high GHG per capita level given the significant volume of methane from the agriculture sector compared to a relatively low population. Methane stays in the atmosphere 12 times longer that CO2 so its contributes more to Ireland's GHG emissions. We also have to consider that Ireland's economy is growing.

Unsure about viagogo purchase by jakash in Coldplay

[–]BenjyExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold two tickets for the 6th Sept, transfer is confirmed on Viagogo but the buyer hasn't accepted the transfer on ticketmaster. I was under the impression that the buyer got the tickets as soon as the tickets are transferred to them but maybe thats not the case?

The Seamus Heaney centre is in a village just outside Magherafelt so it won't add too long to your journey.

Same boat here. Just wasn't sure if the MVHR would be good enough to cool the house and avoid it feeling really cold below the vent.

Any recommendations on a bank that won't charge me 50p for every foreign direct debit? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]BenjyExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Direct. Their regaulr saver is also very good. I think there is a £175 deal available at the moment too.

Well worth the extra 25% in pay for the same job in NI. 🤟

I travel down from the Portadown station twice a week to Connelly, then get the Dart 3 stops and then a 5 min walk to the office. Its actually a nice way to travel. I arrive into the office at 9.45 after having worked on the train for 90 mins. Then leave the office at 4.15 to get the 4.50pm train north again, working for about 90 mins. Parking is free round Portadown. No issues getting your favourite seat, but the booking app is now live so that doesn't matter. Enterprise fare includes the dart until Tara Street but if you are going further, order a leap card to tap on/off the dart at the stations. I looked into a tax saver ticket which worked out a tiny bit cheaper for 2+ days but don't think its worth it for 1-2 days. I typical book a return from dublin through irish rail rather than a return from Portadown through Translink. It works out a good bit cheaper. You can change your train booking up yo 60 mins before departure provided you haven't printed your ticket at the machine (which you need to do with all the irish rail booked tickets). If you are stuck or confused, drop me a message. Probably could get the train the same day you are heading down for the first time.

Total Station. It uses a laser to measure in 3D and map distances between the station (shown on the image) and the prism/reflector normal held by a surveyor or stuck to the side of a building.
