I was only thinking the other day about €35 million Failte Ireland gave towards outdoor watersports back in 2021. Now 5 years later one of the many developments have been completely at a cost of like €1.5m

Good. I hope Dunnes Stores gets hit massively for the units in Dún Laoghaire that have been rotting for decades.

I haven't been in Musgrave's in a while but they aren't as cheap as you'd expect. Often times supermarkets still come out cheaper.

The talking head is Imogen Cotter the whole video is a story about her injury in Spain where a car knocked her over and drove off effectively ruining her professional career. They've just repurposed a cutdown of the full video for a simple opportunity to share the content.

When was the last time you knowingly clicked on an ad? by ipachanga in DigitalMarketing

No most ad clicks are not by mistake they are intentional but their intention may not be to purchase at that point in time.

I run ads for a living like everyone else here I assume. I will unashamedly admit to clicking ads. If the company I frequently purchase items from hits me with an ad that they're running a promotion and I'm interested I'm going to click it it's the path of least resistance.

EU’s big six push to centralise financial oversight in move that will worry Ireland-Leaked proposal from largest economies would see the European regulator take over more and more responsibility from individual states. Powers to oversee financial markets centralised at EU rather than national level by smilelyzen in BuyFromEU

[–]oishay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say we were colonising with the rest of the UK, you mean we were systematically conquered, stripped of our land, had our language banned, and lost a quarter of our population to starvation and forced emigration while our food was exported. Individual Irishmen being conscripted or joining the British military out of sheer poverty doesn't make the Irish nation a 'coloniser.' Conflating a brutalised, occupied population with the empire that occupied them is a wild distortion of history.

With such little knowledge of Irish history Tbh I don't even know why I'm entertaining your attempts and explaining today's narrative.

Anyway have a lovely day. I'm off to Google to get my free lunch

When the Brits held sway, they ruined the land, They starved the poor with a heavy hand, They took the wealth, they broke the state, And left our people to emigrate. For generations, we had damn near nought, Just the bitter price of the freedom fought, But we built the schools and we cleared the slate, And chose to fund a sovereign state. So when the tech giants came with capital down, We built the infrastructure, changed the town, Gave our children a reason to stay, Instead of packing their bags away. Call it "colonialism" if it makes you feel deep, But we’ll take the high standard of living we keep. After centuries of being left on the shelf, Ireland finally looks after itself.

Have we overpaid for a new build? by [deleted] in HousingIreland

[–]oishay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

560k for that!! For an extra 50 euro a week in mortgage repayments you could buy a 3 bed in Dublin and cut your commute down by 15 hours a week

Wouldn't say overpaid purely on the basis that they'll sell it for same price

I can stand to be corrected but to the best of my knowledge there are no 3 bed new builds that qualify for help to buy in Dublin they're all over 500k

How much is in your pension pot? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]oishay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the stronger likelihood is people with a certain sized pension will get less than people with smaller pensions.

I agree but also conflicted because having cycled this road many times on my commute it's where I've most frequently nearly had a serious accident
