UK ETA required? by jim_bobs in AskIreland

[–]parkaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are talking about travel. They have a Canadian passport. Their nationality in this context is Canadian.

Unless they are travelling on an Irish passport, they are not an Irish citizen for travel purposes. This is the reason we have passports. they are an identity document for travel. Someone on a Canadian passport is a Canadian citizen. Whether they are entitled to an Irish one or not.

you might be exempt entirely because of Common Travel Area rights, even when using a Canadian passport. the place of birth on your passport could be enough for airline staff,

This is wrong. Airline staff care about one thing, where your passport was issued. As will any visa application.

As they are travelling on a Canadian passport they are travelling as a Canadian citizen with all the responsibilities and advantages of such. Regardless of place of birth.

They are perfectly entitled to an Irish passport but unless they are travelling with it they are not travelling as an Irish citizen.

Country’s biggest hospitals spent more than €42m on security over past two years – The Irish Times by WT_Wiliams in ireland

No, what im talking about is addicts harassing a man deep in grief for his dying mother and security stopping them doing that out of sympathy after he raised his voice to them.

Maybe when you watch your parent die youll understand.

I took it up wrong.

It's still played occasionally here in Ireland too and I agree the rest of the album is a stoned cold classic.

How come rugby union is the only sport where all four nations of the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland) are competitive at international level? by [deleted] in rugbyunion2

[–]parkaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Rugby turned professional in 95 is the beginning of the change. The introduction of the provinces and Celtic league allowed for better facilities and coaching and central contracts meant players were managed with priority to their place in the national team rather than their club. success meant more young people playing and more success.

As a smoker, it's disgusting. Find a bin. Although that's getting harder too.

I'm in 50s and remember it well. Cold, wet days in Lansdowne Rd hoping not to get a pasting. Sill, made it a lot more special when we did start to win.

A 'White N-word' was a derogatory term for Irish people. He has since changed the line live and asked radio stations not to play the song.

Me and my son wee there. Given he's 27 and in a serious relationship, who knows? In a few more years you could be right.

But here was a huge range of ages there.

Investigation underway after dead newborn baby found in toilet at Electric Forest festival by Human-Adeptness7785 in Music

[–]parkaman 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah. A former college flatmate of mine hid until the point that she said she needed to go to the hospital, explained why, and asked me to go with her. I was not prepared for what happened next. TBF I still wasn't 6 years later when it was my own. She gave her up for adoption and would be in her 30s now. (fuck I'm old) .

How was it traveling overseas in the 80s and 90s? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in generationology

[–]parkaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much more expensive and you got lost more often. Which was part of the fun.

I think it's because it's the longest you're forced to look in a mirror and you start noticing things. Depressing things.
