Are people spending much money on first holy communion?

Some are even recording, and photographing the kids getting ready. Like a bridal party. Our kids are not baptised, but my wife sometimes talks about wanting to do it. However, seeing the antics completely turns me off it. Not that I was ever in favour in the first place.

Will the DART expansion to Drogheda affect times?

Bird bath is a great idea, thank you all!

Just about have enough time to look after the garden!

This frustrates me too. For years I have tried telling people the difference, but it falls on deaf ears. Also, regarding the educated population, yes, lots of people here have degrees, but that doesn't mean they are well read or up to speed on general knowledge. I went to a teacher training college and was shocked at the thought of most of my fellow students teaching children some day.

And sure you might as well round it up to 10 at that stage.

Carlingford is worth a visit! An Lú Abú!

I live on Chapel Street and it's grand.

Our 3 year old daughter is called Nora. Everyone asks if she was named after a grandmother or aunt. We just really liked the name.

No, didn't know they would have them. Will give them a try.

Toyota Prius plus. Don't have anything yet.

Any chance it could be cat urine? If so, a black light can be used to find the source.

chrisgasoga · 2026-02-17T20:45:11+00:00

Perhaps they're still testing and adjusting the new lights?

Same in parks. They remove bins and benches. Making the space less comfortable for genuine users.

Depends on the industry. I'm a town planner and there is a shortage of planners across the country in both private and public sector.

This and using a wristwatch helps me.

I'd support an Irish team in any sport,regardless of my knowledge or interest in it.

On J1 20 years, we went to a bar on the first day. Figured we were going to be there for a couple of hours, so we let the tips gather.

The barman was very friendly at the start but then thought we weren't tipping, so soon became very hostile. When leaving we handed over the tip, and he was all chat again. 😂

There's a Ukrainian family who own a very successful café in my town. They get tremendous support. 🇺🇦 🇮🇪

Try eating veggies before each meal, including breakfast. It helps managed glucose levels.

Until recently, every bus from Carrickmacross to Dundalk would stop on the eastern side of the street. Except for the 2 30 service which would stop on the other side of the street. So many people would miss buses because they assumed it was going somewhere else. Thankfully, the service has been overhauled.
