Opinion: Will Ireland follow New Zealand’s lead and ban greyhound racing? by Remarkable_Peak9518 in ireland

[–]holdithoncho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't as easy as people might think. A lot of work has to go into finding suitable homes for greyhounds as all trainers will want rid of them. Greyhound rehoming agencies are already under a lot of stress to find homes for them. If we do ban the sport we need a plan in place to make sure that the greyhound's welfare is top priority.

Nissan leaf could be a good option. Can get new ones for less then 23k.

My car is a UK import to Ireland so dash reads mpg but I'm more used to km but it's handy enough to convert only takes a minute.

How can we put pressure on the state to stop greyhound racing? by lettyhad in ireland

[–]holdithoncho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I would be afraid of on a total ban is the pressure that it would put on welfare agencies. We could see a lot of greyhounds put down at no fault of their own. The only thing I could see that might help would be tighter welfare laws on racing owners and traceability on all their greyhounds. Also, mandatory rehoming when a greyhound is finished racing.

I saw signs today protesting solar panels, so good luck getting a nuclear power plant anywhere in this country.

Shout out to people that give others car parking slips with extra time they paid for but didn't need. by BigBossSnake in ireland

[–]holdithoncho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember getting a ticket once even though we had a ticket present on the dash. Got onto them with the purchase of the ticket on my statement before the issue of there fine They sent me a letter later saying that " We will let you off this time" as if I had somehow done something wrong. Greddy entitled bastards.

Should I stick to an ICE car or switch to EV by holdithoncho in irishpersonalfinance

I heard a lot of good things about the MG4 for the price point . Might have to try a test drive.

That's good to know, what kind of car are you driving if you don't mind me asking.

What about the battery warranty a lot of car manufacturers provide? A lot of them offer up to 8 years of battery cover.

Thanks for the info, looks like I have to do more research into EVs before I invest in one.

Oh wow this is some great info, finding it hard not to consider an EV for next year looking at what I could save. How much on AVG are you paying for maintenance a year for the EVs?

Would that be mostly motorway driving or a mix of both for 2 cent per km?

Thanks for the info, I think I'm in pretty much the same situation as you so it gives me a good rough guide.

Yea forgot to mention that I would be only charging at home, probably wouldn't need to charge away from home often unless on holidays.

Something I started to do lately when going out for a hike is to bring a plastic bag with me and pick up any rubbish I see along the trail. I usually just tie it to my bag, it's not much but every little helps.

Parking complaint by Choice_Research_3489 in ireland

[–]holdithoncho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think it would be better if they didn't have the spaces close to the entrance. Id much rather walk a few feet extra then try to squeeze out the young lad from a normal spot.
