They are but a figurehead, no real power, like Creed he's very easy going.

We won't be long finding out. There's been a lot of promises made in the run up to forming this government about what they intend doing so the priority they intend to carry out those will be the first thing.

And the level of funding for the new REPS and how many it will allow enter will be the first test of his mettle.

"They will be joined at Cabinet by Stephen Donnelly, who will be named as the new Minister for Health, along with Darragh O'Brien, who will be Minister for Housing and Barry Cowen who will take on a combined Rural and Agricultural Affairs role.

The Green Party's Eamon Ryan will be Transport and Climate Minister, with his party colleagues Roderic O'Gorman and Catherine Martin set to join him in Equality and Communications respectively.

Simon Harris will move to Social Protection, with Tánaiste Leo Varadkar taking on the Jobs brief and Simon Coveney keeping Foreign Affairs. Paschal Donohoe will also stay put in Finance, but the Public Expenditure arm of his role will go to Fianna Fáil's Michael McGrath."

Wouldnt think much of Stepen Donnelly getting such a critical position, he came across poorly during the COVID stuff, lots of bluff and waffle..

I see on twitter that she has been appointed super junior minister in Ag with responsibility for Land Use and Biodiversity.

I disagree, It could be a while before we find out much about any of them. They have had a very busy year so far and with the leaving sorted and the school holidays starting it must be time for their summer break!!

Hope she does better with her senior minister than Andrew Doyle did.

Better to have the card than to have none

We got a date for young lads confirmation. The class will be split into 3 groups , with a separate event for each group. Wont be the full event there normally is. We can have the sponsor, the child and 4 family members. I think it will be better as it wont be the big circus it normally is. It's in August.

There you go now.
Hydrogen production from anaerobic digestion and biochar production from the residue in Offaly.
Or a rapeseed crushing plant with biochar production in Offaly.

Bags that biochar is involved anyway.
Although they'll probably just process it into a briquette and sell it for fuel. :pac:
The company will claim being carbon negative but the end product will end back up in the atmosphere.

Ah they'll thank you for the heads up.

The whole thing is a joke in general in this day and age. I was at my nephew's confirmation two years ago, none of us went to the church bar his mam, dad, brother and uncle (uncle was his spounser), the rest of us met up with them back at their house at 2.30 that day for a big party, 85 people in total, 3.30 a.m. it finished up

I hate all that carry on. Most of the kids never go to mass. We dont go very often here and the confirmation will be very low key. Will be glad when it's over tbh.

Exactly my bro and wife never go to mass, no more than I do myself, it's a total joke the whole thing, but sure hay it's an excuse to get the whole family and friends together, we'd a mighty session at my nephews confirmation but alot of the family would be into music and singing so that's why it went on 'til 3.30 a.m.

Same as that, I was hoping they would post us out a **** pair of scapalers and call the confirmation done.
We never go to mass anymore unless it's a funeral and I don't do many of them either.

Glad it's my last one. He just wants to go to a sports shop after it and get a chipper. Happy days
