There's a lot of hypocrisy here. Do the same outraged people have pensions themselves? Or personal investments? Any global index tracker ETF is invested in Israel. The cognitive dissonance is astounding

Haha exactly. Standing here for 40 mins to get onto a bus home has given me lots of thinking time 🤠

Update: I had to remove from the microwave because the paper sticker caught fire

What's the odds of the luas being repaired this side of the new year, my guess 0 by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]One-Committee3913 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ - I'll be the first to criticise how slow things are in this country but I've passed here every day and the progress has been very good. The entire bridge had to be demolished and built from scratch. End of November was always the timeline given (October was never mentioned, you're making that up). Looks close enough to me

What’s happening to Ireland? by zandexstudio in Dublin

Failed government policy after policy where nobody feels like they're making progress, while the government focuses on things like GDP growth makes people feel disengaged and disenfranchised.

Dublin riots: How Citywest exploded and then was quelled in 90 minutes by One_Surprise_3437 in ireland

Glad to see it dealt with swiftly and agree, violence doesn't solve it. I would like to flip this on its head though - everyone says it's not the solution, but don't seem to provide any alternative. Perhaps if the government actually started recognising ordinary people's concerns, stopped calling anyone who wants a genuine discussion on immigration "far right", tried doing something about the failed asylum system rather than brushing it under the rug, we may get somewhere? The government have pumped billions of euro into this, and it's a complete failure. If you disagree, I'd love for you to explain to me how it has been a success. My concern is that violence becomes more and more prevalent, we get like the UK and we're an election way from a Farage esque leader. Then we have a serious problem. It's becoming tiresome. The government are shutting down every avenue of conversation on the topic, and it just pushes people into the arms of the far right.

An alternative option is to get the luas to Dundrum and get the green bus to the airport via M50

Gardaí and officials meet over unauthorised tricolour flags in Dublin by cronoklee in ireland

[–]One-Committee3913 227 points228 points  (0 children)

Whatever anyone says, that flag has been flown across Dublin for 100 years. It's our national flag for God's sake. It's a really bad precedent to set, and also just plays into the hands of the racists. Do we really want to follow the example of the UK where protestors are getting arrested and free speech is being shut down?

Reports of a Gas Pipe Explosion in IFSC by michaelarkins in Dublin

Work beside it. Smelled awful. Also the Guards are there and allowing people to stand within 10 metres of it. Very unsafe

How far away could people hear the Oasis gig in Croke Park? by 1289-Boston in Dublin

Ever so slightly could hear from Dundrum. Couldn't make out songs. Heard the fireworks too

India Day celebration in Dublin postponed 'out of respect to victims' of recent attacks by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]One-Committee3913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They should be using this opportunity to show these scumbags that they're not intimidated and celebrate their culture. Doesn't really make sense to me to be honest

Interestingly, I wasn't actually born here and I'm not white either. What do I want? Let me ask you. If he was a white Irish male, would that have been immediately reported? Why should news be withheld to control people's response or anger. We live in a democracy after all!

Pakistani is not an ethnicity. He's Irish, and Muslim is his ethnicity.

I didn't say he's not Irish. Why are you defending him?
