There was a bat in the young lads bedroom last night. I found a fishing net thingy that must have been in his room for 10 years, eventually got the bat in the net and let it out the window. Scary stuff it flying around the room

How many months ago with Harris and other politicians were on a tidal wave of goodwill while they have continued to bury their heads in the sand over this controversy.
Resign and do the honorable thing but not in this banana republic people will still vote them in “he fixed the road” springs to mind.
How many more are going to needlessly die because they won’t provide proper testing procedures yet they still go ahead and pay themselves €935 extra before this years budget.

The politicians havent a clue, they dont live in the real world. How is it ok that a people are better off on the dole than working, crazy waiting lists in hospitals. Children waiting to see a counsellor have to wait 6 months at least. Women dying young not getting to see their kids growing up due to a total fook up.... Ah sure we're doing great in this country

We get the politicians we deserve. It wasn't long ago people still voted based on civil war and past generation voting traditions - "We're a Fine Gael house".
We still let family members assume the political shoes of their close relatives on their death.
People don't like hard answers; hence Sinn Fein and the PBP et al are trotting out nonsense of what they "would do", lapping up votes.
The Health ministers brief is a poison chalice with one hand tied behind your back.

There's managers somewhere that let this happen, why aren't they rooted out.
Saying politicians are at fault is a cop out, If they give managers €100000/year (and they do) and can't make them responsible for a department, what's the point.
I see the HSE is getting 2bn more this year, it's just like throwing money into a quagmire

Odelay

I see the lads long term on the dole get the fiver a week extra and the bonus back. They got 2.4 times more from the buget than the working person whos paying for it!

Wouldn't mind if they have it to people recently out of a job, but they don't a bonus, nah that's only for the lads that never worked. Madness.

And the dodgy blood also leaps to mind. I had a transfusion almost 20 years ago while having my first child and have been stopped from donating since because the transfusion I was given cannot be considered completely safe. What does that say? And 4 years later needed another transfusion in the same circumstances but the surgeon wouldn't give it to me as he said I was better off not getting 'dodgy' blood if I could survive without it.:eek: I spent 10 extra days in hospital until my body had managed to replenish enough that I wasn't going to keel over with the new baby in my arms.

The state exam commission is another one that seems to be unaccountable. Errors made in correcting exam papers that kids have worked for 6 years to complete. Thus missing out on their chosen course.

Would there be many mistakes in the dept of agriculture that we don't know about. Alot of farmers seem to be too frightened to complain.

Can't I'm drawing in silage and will be tomorrow too. :pac:

(That's the May reseed I had up on here. 53 bales on the 21st August and now 74 bales yesterday on 11 acres).

So now that looks like I'll have a good reserve of silage for a late spring if we get one.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Edit: What makes it sweeter is I had a sales rep look at it in early August and he went quiet pale when I told him the plan was to cut silage off it. It was so bare then he got me worried that it couldn't be done. Codding yourself and grazing with sheep were mentioned. But by my convictions I persisted.
It pays to be stubborn!!

Serious questions to be answered there..
Were these shredded as part of a process where stuff just gets shredded after X timelimit and other stuff was shredded..
Or, were they specifically singled out and shredded to hide something..

Well most files have to be kept for a certain length of time.

If you want any info about yourself or anything that interests you, you simply ask for it under the freedom of information act every week or every other week.
It’s not the first time files have been shredded in this banana republic

The only way the hse are goin to get around that is if the files were stored by a company that auto shreds after a set time

Procurement records to be kept for 7 years shred after that. I presume those we the same.
but ya bloody convenient.

My suspicious mind would say "shredded to hide something"

There are a couple of avenues still worthy of persual,
Whatever Irish firms of solicitors negotiated the contracts between the HSE and the screening labs would likely retain copies of the contracts
And the labs themselves would have copies.
Of course, going "cap in hand" to an Americian Lab company looking for a copy of the contract you yourself signed with them would be hugely embarressing ( especially when you are trying to negotiate new contracts, while the possibility of legal actions over the older contracts remain a possibility)

In the report the shredding was described as the only part of the HSE that was efficent.

As part of their day one training, all civil serveants are made aware of the nearest emergency exit and shredding machine. Thought to write a non-legible signature then.

On a 3 cut system here on rented ground, this year it worked out at 33 euro a bale with a rental cost of 200 euro a acre, 21 bales a acre was got of 3 cuts and just shy of 500kgs of 18:6:12 went out per acre in fert total over the 3 cuts, I have to laugh at lads giving out about silage been more then 30 odd euro a bale and sure it’s cheaper to buy meal, they can work away but no half decent bale of silage should leave anyone’s yard for less then 30 euro....

Christ that was a frightening sight. He sounded well pissed off in the video alright.

Freak sort of thing. Only ever came across it where cattle drank silage run off. And that was as a student.

Lady Haywire

Was it the nitrites in the roots that caused it? I remember reading something about horses dying by eating grass near to railway lines which had been loose soil. And something in the roots had poisoned them.

Really feel for him though, what a kick in the teeth
