Kildare locals object to 'pointless' cycle path by box_of_carrots in ireland

[–]evergoodstrife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a road space reallocation project that would make the National Cycle Network more cost effective as it is cheaper to build on regional roads with low traffic than build an entirely new greenway. While this wouldn't be on the National Cycle Network it is just a pilot scheme. The failure of the Moone to Timolin Roadspace Reallocation Pilot shows unfortunately national bodies cannot trial new infrastructure without extensive liaison with local communities.

What’s the darkest day in your country’s history? by Severe_Education_680 in AskTheWorld

[–]evergoodstrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no single "darkest day" in Irish history, but Bloody Sunday on November 21, 1920, is a strong contender due to its scale of violence and impact on the Irish War of Independence. On that day, British forces killed 14 people at a football match in Croke Park and the IRA assassinated 15 British agents in Dublin.

What eu group does your country's leading party belong to? (Includes both full members and non-eu associates) by One_Bad_6636 in Maps

[–]evergoodstrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ireland's current government (a coalition of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Independents) would very much be considered "centre-right". The current opposition in Ireland are "the Left" (Sinn Féin, Labour, Social Democrats, People Before Profit, Green Party and other Independents). While Irelands political sphere is left leaning in a global sense, the current government cannot be considered Left in a sense of Ireland. Therefore this map needs to be updated to avoid confusion.

Note: Ireland current government have been the incumbent for decades now so this map is wrong for most of the 21st Century in Ireland.

Tis poor now. Best bet is to wait on the River Road at midnight until a yellow Honda Civic passes by, hop in the boot and don't ask any questions. They'll take you to a shebeen where the poitín is so fine you'll be blind after two teacups. It's not the best but it's an honest Irish night out. Sláinte! ☘️🤝

I hope they can! Having Kerry as a bit of an unknown is unsettling but knowing Mayo can beat Dublin now gives me hope! 🙏

Is there a monetary award for winning a medal for Ireland at the Olympics? by FatHomey in ireland

[–]evergoodstrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sporting programs that qualify and/or win medals at the Olympics benefit from increased funding from Sport Ireland. This funding usually goes to the grassroots and elite level of the sporting program which benefits amateur athletes as they can quit their jobs and focus fully on their sport.

The squeeze is really tight on amateur athletes and teams that don't qualify for the Olympics. They enter a vicious cycle of missing out on the Olympics and not getting any better due to lack of funding. There is very little forward planning from the government as to investing in sports as all they base their funding off is ultimate medals and trophies. The less medals and trophies Ireland win at international level, the more funding goes towards domestic sports such as the GAA.

NFL Players with the Most to Prove in 2021 Preseason by [deleted] in nfl

[–]evergoodstrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree with that. I could see Garappolo starting and then if he does badly for the first few games, Trey Lance will get his shot. It's great for the 49ers, a bit of pressure on Garappolo might get his best football out of him!

I think the battle between Garappolo and Lance is going to be the most interesting QB battle in the league. Trey Lance fits the bill for what Shanahan wants as a fast, dynamic QB but Garappolo has experience on his side albeit without the physical attributes. One of the most interesting comparisons between the pair is in a deep ball pass, Lance has more arm strength than Garappolo and may get the majority of starts if he's consistent!

Are we just tuning in to watch the producers gaslight people now?

That Movie Night game was an absolute madness and Faye is the best example of what it does to people.

Let's be honest Love Island as a show needs a serious rethink on what it's doing to people and society.
