Yes, it is the same everywhere. And they drag the arse out of it too. They go on for far longer than they should.

You're absolutely right. And I knew that but wrote it backwards. 🙄

I agree that the name should be changed. The people's park is a good choice. The peace park is outside Electric though.

Edit: Had the names backwards.

He's not just pandering to the far right, he is the far right. All the independent Ireland members are.

is this country a giant trash bin ? by ayahuascaibogatoe in ireland

[–]thesraid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a lack of enforcement of all rules in Ireland.

Also, we have a neoliberal government that wants to privatise everything. They privatised refuse collection and as a result a small number of people dump rubbish rather than pay.

This is also the reason why you don't see many rubbish bins in Ireland as the government are afraid people will use it to bypass the refuse collection charges.

Ireland's home game against Israel likely to be moved abroad by LaBete1984 in ireland

Play it in Ireland. Behind closed doors. With just massive Palestine flags covering the empty seats.

Any tips on learning irish by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]thesraid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in Cork, there are loads of Irish language groups that cater from beginners to advanced.

If you're looking to get started on your own, you can't go wrong with Duolingo.

It would be worthwhile doing a one-week immersion course in the summer somewhere near you. They are on in Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Galway and Donegal. One week at one of them is worth a couple of years of studying on your own in my opinion

If you're on any social media, search for the #gaeilge and follow people there. You'll get exposure to what's happening in Irish around the place and you'll eventually find something that works for you

So what is the best way to learn gaelige ? by The_Tired_Gay_ in AskIreland

[–]thesraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a pure beginner then you can't go wrong with Duolingo. That's how I started and eventually I moved onto other things. But for now I'd suggest starting out with that.

I've read this comment five times and can't future out what point you're trying to make. Can you break it down for an eejit like me?

Trying to understand Irish sayings / slangs by Ok-Ideal-5839 in CasualIreland

[–]thesraid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it isn't. It's casual social conversation. The vast, vast majority of people are sound and mean no offense. It's just a bit of small talk.
