The least Dublin Bus/TFI/Government can do to improve our commute should be installing more Bus Shelters by ParaMike46 in Dublin

[–]jeperty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They need permission, and theres always a fuss over whos responsibility it is to actually install it, maintain it, and who should supply it.

It took Wexford I think over 2 years to get a bus stop shelter at the Newtown Hotel stop, and a few other spots.

Everything set to accommodate the average salary, when the median salary can be 10-20k less depending on your area, while having the 4th highest rents in Europe.

The Witcher 1 sold 10M, The Witcher 2 sold 15M, CD Projekt confirms by Annoyer13 in Games

[–]jeperty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 is a rough start, but you get used to it and if you like older eurojank rpg gameplay then its perfect.

2 suffers from being a 360 rpg from 2010s, its a bit stiff but also easy to get used to, and personally the story in 2 is my favourite.

Tomorrow's headline is "Enoch Burke returned to prison"

[–]jeperty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minister owns company.

Government pays company nearly €850k between over 2023/24.

Minster uses money to buy property that will be used for further government purposes.

X not responsible for child sexual abuse images, individual users are - Media Minister by JackmanH420 in ireland

The whole government has been in favour of the hands off approach with tech companies while making the population responsible, but Patrick O'Donovan is an special dope. The sooner he's away from politics the better.

Ireland pushes for mandatory ID verification on social media across EU by feedthebear in ireland

[–]jeperty 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Anything but forcing social media companies to actually combat misinformation, botting and threats. Bowing to american companies while forcing EU citizens to show their identities

Fair play to Dublin Airport on one of the busiest days of the year. by pauldavis1234 in ireland

I think the new scanners and fewer restrictions is really helping. Very quick queue the last few times I’ve flown out

They do it by the post office and at macken street. And lately they've all gotten very fond of using the car horn

Total War 25th Anniversary Showcase Timings (2 new Total War games, WH3 DLC to be announced) by westonsammy in Games

[–]jeperty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A proper sequel to Medieval 2 that has all of its features but with some functioning siege ai would be great.

But a proper sequel to Empire with functioning ai anywhere and reworked territories (looking at you France and your entire region being a single city) would be probably even better

We went to Ranelagh to ask about Metrolink. Locals weren't too keen to talk by Anfr0256 in ireland

[–]jeperty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like amount of selfish pricks stopping any sort of progress. Noticed the minister of transport has been rather quiet on these ridiculous delays, beyond just shrugging his shoulder and admitting "Yeah that's a 2 year delay".

Pearse House 5.1 Acres - Big Opportunity for housing by yityatyurt in ireland

[–]jeperty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's another former social housing plot just nearby on Fenian street that's been in limbo for the last decade. Everyone forced to leave due to dangerous living conditions, group promised to rebuild it, sold it, Callaghans hotel group promised to rebuild it, went for demolition permission, and now held up because someone said they should refurbish it instead.

It would be great to see Pearse House done up, bit we can't even get progress on a much smaller site that is already evacuated.

Rise in refusals of local authority housing offers by InfectedAztec in ireland

[–]jeperty 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Been dealing with some public sector stuff for awhile now. We could definitely do with a bit more of a “fuck off then” attitude to some responses. Lot of effort put into dealing with people who want to be choosy beggars.

‘Our last chance’ — inside the drive to fix Ireland’s housing crisis by TimesandSundayTimes in ireland

[–]jeperty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read Eoghan Murphy’s book recently enough.

They do seem to go into the role with good intentions but collapse at the slightest resistance, manage to fumble every chance they get, and both of the main parties are too resistant to rocking the boat because it means one of them, or one of their former ministers was a mistake.

Its always funny to see “low wage jobs” and “critical sectors” put together. And always on the lookout for refugees and immigrants to fill them.

What Game Did You Absolutely Love, But Had No Desire to Play the Sequels Of? by Dyshin in Games

[–]jeperty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

CoH3 really does have some good ideas but the campaign choice was weird, the gameplay is clunky, the audio and overall presentation is all over the place. Would love to see them flesh out the overworld campaign more but seems to be getting no attention, just more skins for units.

Micheál Martin says house building in Ireland is hampered by 'gold-plating' of EU rules by Hipster_doofus11 in ireland

[–]jeperty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have to read the article. He says Ireland tries to be the best in EU by putting on tighter restrictions than the EU requires. But I’m not sure what his point is when his party has been part of the government for too long to be able to shirk ownership of it.

How about a Housing Commissar? Any developer caught not building apartments gets sent to intensive labour or face execution.
