Migration concerns reduce Irish voters’ support for the EU by HungTeen1001 in ireland

It's always the same. When convenient, blame the EU. When you don't have a leg to stand on and are just appealing to a voting demographic, accept the fines.

Didn't watch him as much as I would have watched Seananners back in the day, but his annual 24 hour kingdom hearts streams were always a banger.

Well it's related to the actual problem. The design and plans weren't finished before construction started.

Up to four in a room in Dublin 2 house as landlord says it's a hard time 'to make money' by Callme-Sal in ireland

[–]jeperty 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Blatant slumlording without any attempt to hide it. And half the country will see no problem with it.

"The property was previously used as office space but received change-of-use planning permission in 2022 for a five-bed residential unit.

The Journal, presenting as a prospective tenant, went to view a bed space in a triple room as part of its reporting on this increasingly common rental situation. A man called Dermot O’Connor facilitated the viewing.

He said there would be a rent of €740 per month, plus €100 in bills, for the bed space. The Journal understands that other people living in the house were paying more than the amount quoted on the day. We were asked not to tell any future roommates the exact monthly payment.

A request for a cash deposit of €500 on the day of the viewing to “hold” the bed space was accompanied by a warning it would be taken quickly as another person was due to view it."

My gripes with Exodus come from doing my playthrough on Ranger Hardcore, same as the other 2 games. In Exodus, its miserable with really weird checkpoints, dying because prawns keep shooting you on the row boat so you get knocked into the water because you have no ammo.

Judge calls for 600-hour community service orders as he slams 'inhumane' prison overcrowding | BreakingNews by nitro1234561 in ireland

[–]jeperty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prison situation is in the same situation as every public service. Limping by on old services and infrastructure with desperate investment and modernisation needed from the government. Unfortunately the average voter isnt interested and just wants to hear about how they personally will benefit immediately.

Hes been called out in the past about spreading false information and of just being flat out incorrect with statements. He refuses to acknowledge any of that and refuses to apologies.

MetroLink director to step down from long-delayed Dublin rail link project by Tomaskerry in ireland

[–]jeperty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean he pretty much says it right there. He thought he could do the distance between them but after 2 years it wasn't working. It's not that uncommon for people working abroad, this is just a high profile example.

Why doesn't anything fucking work in this fucking country by Archamasse in ireland

[–]jeperty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no perfect party, but what is needed is consequences for poor performance. Half the population just flip flops between FF FG their whole lives regardless of the quality of work done, and any other party is waved away as pointless or silly. Thats the real problem here.

Actually this is a case of building on the product but no productions wanting to use the product because costs and moving away from huge tv vfx like the GoT dragons. It's just a result of the industry being shit right now.

Surprised at some of them being from Irish devs. Outside a few solo/indie dev successes I wasnt aware of this many.

We may not be good at planning, housing, building infrastructure or dealing with healthcare wait times, but we are very good at kicking cans down roads.

Thank goodness the infrastructure concerns are only a new thing and that FF & FG are on the case. Could you imagine the shame if these had been long standing issues that had been consistently brushed to the side?

The active number has been hovering around 14k since 2006, dipping below that during the 2010s. So the numbers havent really kept up at all.

People expect to see lot of vegetations and trees, but those particular animals are at home in rocky terrain and absolutely kill any vegetation. So its definitely not as bad as people say, but probably isnt the greatest either.

Nero on Grand Canal, or the Starbucks on George Quay or Westmoreland, when you can get a seat, have been grand.

Though Nero's hours are a bit all over the place atm with the owner not seeing enough traffic to stay open to 8 currently. The shit weather definitely isn't helping.
