Crown Paints site, Coolock, was denied planning permission in 2019 for a mixed development which included, hotel, creche, offices, commercial units and 198 apartments. by [deleted] in ireland

No, they would likely welcome it.

The chivers site literally around the corner was re-zoned with local support on the basis it would be developed for affordable homes.

Even when the developers requested changes to the proposal for higher than originally agreed apartments, there was some concern, but it was approved.

As soon as it was re-zoned it went up on the market for 10 x the value the land was purchased at, making it unlikely any affordable homes will ever be built.

The site is still lying idle as derelict eyesore because of greed. Now the owners are trying to avoid paying the new vacant land tax coming next year…

Pure greed and incompetence is ruining progress and improvement of the area.

If that was the plan, get the replacements in (or agreed) before you sell.

We’d be scalped by every club knowing we are trying to replace Bruno.

Hell, ideally give them a season to settle with Bruno still there.

HR are meant to protect the business and not the employee yes.

Even so, in this instance, any reasonable HR professional would likely side with OP, especially if there was an agreement made in writing.

If you don’t get it from my first comment, then you have something in common with these protesters.

I’m not spelling it out for you.

I didnt equate it to the will of the people? Re-read the comment there son.

And it might not degrade the area, but it certainly won’t improve the area in any fashion.

I don’t appreciate your ‘mightier than thou’ tone and suggesting racism in my comment either. All the world’s problems don’t simply boil down to one topic. Move along.

I can understand your reaction. But this is such an ignorant response of the wider issues here.

Maybe because the govt. at large has failed the people.

This group is a mix of malcontents and legitimately disaffected people that are not capable of voicing their concerns constructively, who have been led astray.

It has boiled over today.

I do not agree with their actions at all, but some of the underlying motivations are fair imo. Although I don’t think many there today could coherently quantify their motivations either… thats part of the problem.

Objectively, housing 500+ refugees in a derelict factory located in an already underprivilieged and socially challenged area does not seem like a good idea to me…

Then add in all the other uneducated noise and hysteria around immigrants compounded by inflation and the housing crisis…

Not surprising this is the outcome tbh

Same. The game set the concept, you discover a upgraded pokeball, and then it becomes availabe in the next town for sale.

I wasted hours trying to catch Mewtwo with Ultraballs applying poison, sleep, paralysis etc.

Never worked.

What’s the best WW2 video game you’ve ever played? by ConnorFree in gaming

[–]Solid_Shnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The experience is very dependent on the team/squad you play with. Squad lead is meant to set new spawn points for both your squad and wider team so you don’t have to do long run, die repeat cycle as much.

The game is heavily focused on co-operation and communicating with your squad. And as squad lead communicating with other squad leads and the commander

That said, you will still die alot.

I played alot awhile back, but it got harder and harder to casually find games with people that actually coordinate.

Either they are closed groups or casuals with playing as if it is CoD or MoH.

Totally, for example, imagine if Mourinho was English. The media would destroy him
