    Bulgaria v Killarney

    Vote yes for Bulgaria and no for Killarney.
    Neither a hurling strong hold

    I would say so same with wish etc.
    A lot of bloggers just rebrand standard products with their name and make a huge markup.
    Some seriously gullible people on Instagram etc.

    I priced an apartment a few months back in Sunny Beach Bulgaria for circa €20k, was moddrin and that, I guess they will be less than that again by the end of the year.

    I was really pleasantly surprised at just what a lovely country Bulgaria is, on pretty much all counts. I met Irish people on the flight who said they are so glad to have their holiday tigeen there (outside popular area) and how the good Bulgarian neighbours always kept an eye on it for them.

    Sunny Beach is a nice spot. Although the beach isn't sandy, more shaley.

    Yes I did a Google Street View of the area, some parts of it a little like scenes from Borat, also appeared to be littered with knocking shops/gentleman's clubs.

    I was raised up north.
    Is the scouts more of a thing in the south? We never had anything like that where I was from.

    Pretty horrendous report.

    The sentencing for sexual abuse is horrendously lenient in Ireland. It's a real disgrace for destroying people's lives.

    2 months....served of an 8 months sentence...ffs.

    That man has clearly been absolutely broken by it all.

    I was in the Scouting Association of Ireland which was a multi-denominational organisation, but was considered unionist and protestant. The rival organisation was the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland.

    They merged in 2004 and I know a few leaders who resigned from SAI in protest because they didn't want anything to do with the CBSI.

    This was in the south, and I was catholic when I was a member.

    RTE's lead council must be having a conniption listening to this.

    Dere was a similar sort of shoyte went on in Scotland, where the Boy's Brigade was generally regarded as Proddy, etc. The Scouts weren't regarded as anything like that, just Scouts.
    I gave the BB a shot, but not being a football head, there wasn't much there to interest me, so defected to the Scouts.


    I must say, both being proto-paramilitary organisations, the Scouts were the softer option.

    Ah ok thanks for that.
    Sounds like I dodged a bullet!
    It looks like serious sexual abuse really ignored and hidden pretty horrendous.

    I came from a GAA Catholic area it was hurling and nothing else, maybe for the best!

    In my hurling mad area, the GAA actively discouraged all types of scouting. Some antics put me off the GAA for life.

    No offense intended.

    Other anecdote, in most SAI troops, half the leaders were female. in CBSI, they were all men, and often the local priest too.

    Ah that could be it.
    No offense taken at all.
    The GAA has serious power in Ireland.
    I only played hurling til start of secondary school I had a horrendous temper at that age so moved onto golf at my mum's insistence lol.

    That is a serious amount of victims in that report....275 alleged perpetrators..f#cking hell.

    Id think the state? I don't think it should be the main concern at the minute, there should be some type of justice for the people abused.
    From a compensation point of view probably something similar to RIRU which is managed by department of education and skills (or it was when I worked there)
