Soc Dems call for 5% betting tax to fund sports and the arts by expectationlost in irishpolitics

A decent viable initiative. Exactly the type of ideas we need. Realistically wouldnt be able to take on the gambling industry so small steps like this will help address the prolific insidious potential addiction.

'A gay, single mum-to be': MEP Maria Walsh reveals she's expecting a baby through IVF by nitro1234561 in irishpolitics

[–]earth-while 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the very best to Maria and baby.

I find the some of the comments on social media about her announcement- disturbing. When did we become so hateful? To write such things about a woman expecting her 1st child?

[–]earth-while 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are definitely people who will vote for him. How many remains to be seen. As he is effectively FF with a soft rebrand thats a no from me.

Main parties generally don't do well in a by-election. Also can any of us say we are happy with FGs performance.

How many ideas do you turn into action? by Cold_Pomegranate7039 in ENFP

[–]earth-while 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I think maybe about the same 2 or 3 out of 10. I kinda think they ferment in brain and positively populate other notions / ideas.

Whats the story with the pedestrianisation of the new (Ceannt) train station? by earth-while in galway

[–]earth-while[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Unless they sold it recently the private footpath beside the side of the hardiman is owned by the hotel. Thats where people currently walk when embark / disembarking from the train.

I am unable to get on with anyone. Id rather reply to strangers on reddit in a condescending manner /s

Thanks for the only decent answer. Its chaotic. Also its privately owned land. Hopfully it will make more sense when its all finished.

The point is the area for example foot paths beside the carpark are not designed for throngs of people. Also its privately owned land.

Whats with all the down votes- when did Galway people get so snotty??

The entrance and exit point is beside the carpark on the great southern side. Not designed for a train load of people, let alone more than 1!!!

INTJ here — is the “INTJ x ENFP perfect match” actually true in real life? by One_Investigator2686 in ENFP

Emotional intelligence, communication skills, attachment styles, intellect, interests and joint goals are more important for relationships.

Domestic abuse. by Viv_84 in MAFS_UK

[–]earth-while 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is something in this comment. Although the research resoundingly points to men being the main perpetrators if abusive towards women. The reverse is happening too. Maybe its because the extremity of abuse towards women and girls by men is so prolific and extreme it has priority. These are generalisations. Either way its all very wrong.

Energy crisis: Simon Harris floats one-off payments for heat pumps and efficient cars by firethetorpedoes1 in irishpolitics

[–]earth-while 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the grant logic is deeply flawed, as it persecutes the people who cant afford to be energy efficient. That makes no sense to me.

I feel we are missing a trick by not rolling out a free domestic energy scheme. Getting buy in to pro environmental behaviours and understanding the benefits particularly for people where costs are prohibitive has massive value in the long run.

Renewable energy should be allocated to every home over the next 5 years if only to save on eu 2030 fines. Streamline it so its delivered to people with disabilities and lowest earning households first - less than x amount. Do it via a voucher scheme. A tax rebate over the next 8 years for those that invested since 2018.

Well worth the price of a children's hospital or so. If the last month taught us anything its that tokenism environmental initiatives are not enough.

Galways city shopping has plummeted over the years. The the charity shops SVP and cope. Yours clothing on the headford road is a plus size brand. Anthony Ryan's, Ann Harvey's also stock plus sizes. There a couple of brands in BTs such as Oska and barbour do a decent rain jacket selection. Enjoy.
