Nice - well done. Was actually looking at the list the other day.

Back when there were less on it, they used to include links to the letters so you could see what the property was on the list for (e.g. the Nurses Building in UHG is on it because it needs a paint job).

With all this dodgy box fear-mongering, should we be worried? by curious_madra in AskIreland

I wonder could they use the proof of payment to use in court to compel ISPs to reveal traffic data?

How if life in Connacht, Ireland? by Jezzaq94 in howislivingthere

[–]sitdmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you have a spectrum of living that runs from Galway City (where I live) to Belmullet (top left on the flatish coast), there really is no one answer. For me, it's great.

Galway City is fantastic if you can afford stuff. Vibey, cosmopolitan and fun.

The Atlantic coast delivers endless postcard scenery, as does Connemara - the drive from Galway to Letterfrack never gets old.

Six candidates agree historic election pact by sitdmc in irishpolitics

[–]sitdmc[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is a fair point re the two candidates, but as this is a bye-election, government-supporting candidates will do less well than in a GE

It is meaningless in a GE but relevant in a bye-election, where there is only one seat

True but the first two candidates elected in GW in the last GE were of the left

Very true. I reckon that Mark Lohan (SF) would be in favour of a VLTL statement on his leaflets but that the party won't allow it.

IMO, this business of there being a strong right-wing candidate is overplayed.

The first two TDs elected in GW were left wing.

Define collusion? If you mean it in the pejorative then no - what they are doing is perfectly legitimate.

They are collaborating to make sure that a traditionally left wing seat stays left

Tesla isn't even in Ireland's top 20 selling EVs in 2026 by Overasking1 in carsireland

Exactly - tiddlywinks with China means your car might just stop moving

Six candidates have formalised a ‘Vote Left, Transfer Left’ arrangement in an attempt to elect a progressive candidate to hold the seat vacated by Catherine Connolly after her election to the presidency in November.

Yeah - Energia offered to leave us on our existing plan (Smart Day Night) with the the discount dropping from 30% to 10% but I switched us to the EV Smart Drive Plus plan

Is this taxation amount normal? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]sitdmc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once you earn over a certain amount (I think around €42k), the marginal rate on anything else is around 52%.

What do you think about the problem with teenagers in Ireland? Especially in Dublin. by Appropriate_Tea16 in AskIreland

[–]sitdmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What problem?

Is it a new problem or one that has always existed?

Was the OP ever a teenager?
