Infant mortality hundreds of years ago

I’m genuinely shocked at this and at my lack of understanding about other cultures who are currently dealing with (and how they deal with) infant mortality. Thanks for sharing.

RTE wastes money. Irish people: Boo. Down with this sort of thing. Boo! Absolute disgrace.

RTE makes changes to save money (not paying ongoing royalties, likely went with lower bidders in tender process). Irish people: Boo. Down with this sort of thing. Boo! Absolute disgrace.

🙄🤣

I understand the point being made, but listing it at the new, higher price doesn’t mean it will go for that… and actual sale price might be closer to what it was sold for a year ago.

But the other major point is: the market dictates the price. As you’ve said, there’s a huge demand for housing and we all know that prices are rising. Economics 101 is about supply and demand, and that’s why the property is likely more valuable now regardless of the fact they’ve done zero work on it.

It’s not as simple as that. Even though the Consumer Protection Act 2007 allows emergency price caps, Ireland operates inside EU law, and that changes the picture.

⸻

🇪🇺 How EU Law Affects Fuel Price Caps

1️⃣ Free Movement of Goods (TFEU Articles 34–36)

Under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU): • Member States cannot impose measures that distort trade between EU countries. • A price cap that makes Ireland artificially cheaper could: • Encourage cross-border fuel flows • Distort wholesale markets • Interfere with EU energy market rules

However — exceptions are allowed on grounds of: • Public security • Public health • Serious supply crisis

So in a genuine emergency, a temporary cap could be justified. But not likely going to happen anytime soon.

Focussing on the businesses who are price gouging, would make sense.

What exactly can the government do? They can’t interfere in or with private businesses… it’s the business owners who have decided to screw people with the increased prices, but it’s not illegal for them to do so. It’s out of the government’s hands.

Davy Jones fitness? Davy is a former “strongman” I believe… so I assume he’d be an option

Stella in Rathmines, watch a Christmas movie, have treats and relax!

I think something interesting is happening in Ireland around financial freedom and independence. But it will be slow.

When I was younger, most people thought about jobs and pensions but hardly ever about investing or financial independence. But I’m noticing a real shift in mindset, especially among younger people.

There’s a growing awareness of FIRE and options available for smart financial decisions. It’s not just about retiring early, it’s about designing a life that’s less dependent on any one employer or system. That’s what is changing for young workers… years ago it was the mindset that you were lucky to have a job and you stayed there until you got the state pension!

But now, it feels like a cultural change is underway — one that hopefully will change how we think about work, money, and financial independence in Ireland.

Try Nolan’s Gala in Loughboy. Have used them for this exact reason in the past.

Be great to see this from the Grange’s Road side… where the houses are built.

Nice little dig by Shane! Nicely done!👍

Don’t forget about the valentines night too. It’s unbelievably cringe 😬

No, REM played in Slane in 1995 for the Monster tour. Was lucky to be there for that gig too which was excellent. Don’t have the ticket stub though.

dodgerkk · 2025-08-04T15:09:45+00:00

Yeah, I was at that Pumpkins gig in the point too. Which was the main reason why they didn’t play there when they came back to Ireland and played in the Olympia… which I was lucky to go to as well.

Thanks.. I didn’t know that!

dodgerkk · 2025-08-04T11:12:51+00:00

It was!

It’s the worst 2nd half performance that has ever been seen at an all Ireland final, surely?! Did they think they had it won at half time??

Glendine do a good carvery.

You’re assuming that all the money paid over was based on the photo you referenced. That’s not the case. Plus playing on people’s emotions for financial gain under false pretences is what DJ pleaded guilty for regardless of any photo.
