No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

what was it called- I must show it to some of my students.

Both their parents and I are trying to get them to at least have a back up plan if anything happened the fishing industry.

They don’t even have value in the leaving because fishing will always be profitable.

That sounds more like the Isle of Man. Why not say that Ireland is an island on the west of Europe?

I would say the use of "these islands" was a necessary fudge at the time, (obviously not an everyday term). I just showed it as one example to show the term British Isles is recognised as an obsolete and inappropriate term for Ireland and Irish people.

I object to use of the word Ireland to name this country.

Why should it be used when it's the Sasanachy's name for Eire. Eire is our original title as gaelige.

Eire became Eirelonde in the 16th century and then became Ireland.

However British pathe used the title Eire in their broadcasts and reels in the 1900's after independence to not cause offence and some eire people took offence with this and thought it should be Ireland.

Doesn’t the added tax not magic away the bad stuff and solve the problem?

One of the kids needed a new bike, old one needs a lot of work. Saw an ad on donedeal €50 for a good sturdy bike locally. Was an old man who does bikes up in his spare time. A new bike would be alot more and in a couple of years wont be used anymore. He was saying alot of kids now can't ride a bike, never thought how to

I see that Glanbia/Tirlan and Aldi are not going to be at the ploughing championships this year. I haven't been to the ploughing for the last 8 years and I doubt I missed much.

yea everything has a life cycle. The ploughing is on the way down. Smaller events like tullamore show which target the ag sector is way better. They should learn from the ploughing and not try make it too big and target everyone .

think o heard about €250k

I should clarify that was their budget so probably included labour costs associated with staff working there and expenses for staying there etc

An hour ago in Nebraska.

Ireland was referred to as Hibernia when Romans conquered Britain. The Anglo irish treaty of 1922 refers to officially the Articles of Agreement for a Treaty Between Great Britain and Ireland. Eire came into the mix by the FF government using irish postal stamps from the 1930s. Thus the British adopted it. From 1922 to the Dev government we were known as the Free State. The Republic of Ireland came about in 1938 by FG government.

Not sure when British Isles began or ended. British produced maps in the early years of the foundation of the state referred to the British Isles. I think WW2 changed that thinking.

It's bad in fairness. They need to be caught abd severely dealt with.

They've managed to get sympathy for the most inept minister in history as well which is also unhelpful.

The bad actions of a small number of thugs does not excuse our inept government of a policy of open borders free for all .80% of Irish citizens oppose this government policy yet our ministers act with authority against the majority wishes .I can not see what connection Putin has with the Irish government policy just more spin bs
