Such a pardon is not legal surely?

Mia is heading into first year in September. So looking forward to seeing how she gets on. Have been into the school on a few occasions. It's so Unusual . Teachers all called by their first names.it's quirky no religion as such just traditions.
Wouldn't surprise me if eventually it becomes a fee paying school. The biggest secondary school. In town is across from my house more or less with 990 girls total which is horrific.Mia looked very lost on the opening night.

She will be going to the new school which currently has 38 students. And they are only accepting 1st yrs this yr. So prob end up with less than 100 pupils in total. She is really looking forward to it too. .8.15 school starts and ends at 3.15 pm

That Childrens one was quite a complicated amendment, putting in about 10 lines of text all with the potential to be in conflict with some other Article or established Right. You could see how it caused the courts to spend some time working their way through it.

This recent one was far more clearcut, because it's just taking out an existing article and replacing it with what looks a straightforward 'let the Dail legislate' piece of text. I don't see how there can be any problem with that at all, as there's nothing new being put into the constitution.
I'd be confident the grounds of appeal are fairly thin here.

I don't know what grounds this appeal is on but her previous one wasn't on the text it was on the informational campaign run.

[gorrrr72]

Oh that. Tell me in the clubhouse there was money on it. Yeah well I still offered you the money was it 50 ? stooping low with that . As for slapping lol. I'm thinking someone has your logon details with that knacker post.

I've already had a TIGER bet win on here and refused the money. Did you get a swing yet ?

Don't remember the bet but can confirm you snore like an injured/dying rhino.

[ArmaniJeans]

I don't know what grounds this appeal is on but her previous one wasn't on the text it was on the informational campaign run.

Fair enough, that does seem to be true.

However the major part of the 3 year delay seems to be on this point...
She claimed that the Referendum Act which forced her to prove that government bias had affected the result was unconstitutional, that the government should be the ones who had to prove that any bias didn't affect the result...

It took 2 years for the High Court and Supreme court to reject this point, but I think now it's been rejected she can't go the well on it again. So the major delay shouldn't happen again.

[ComradeCollie]

So, I have a spare ticket for Bill Burr tomorrow in the 3arena. Obvious downside is being stuck seated next to me. Any interested peeps should pm me. It's not first come first served, and preference will be given to anyone I even vaguely remember from real life.

Bump.

Not a single pm so far. Really nobody interested?

*takes lawyer hat off*

She paid 1/3 of her High Court costs and 1/2 of her Court of Appeal and Supreme Court costs last time.

When she loses this one, and she undoubtedly will, she should have to pay every single cent back to the State for this case.

Bill Burr is probably only comedian I'd really want to go to today. That man gets it.

there's just something a little unsettling about him though.
I'd be eager to see him live just to see if he is as loopy as some of the podcasts suggest.

Jim Jeffries is my current go to comedian

I'd be interested to see who from FF or FG make the googliest eyes at SF next GE if a coalition is possible.

Bit early for writing off FF and SF are not likely to go for a junior coalition as we have all seen this being the death of many a party.

FG this time round again with FF retiring some of the old guard and hardcore conservatives in preparation to go the next time.

Martin I think did vote with his conscious and fair play but he defo considered the political landscape and wanted to use it as a way to divide the party so he could clean house.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/mary-lou-mcdonald-seeks-coalition-deal-with-fg-or-ff-1.3519441

The Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said she wants to form a coalition government after the next election with either Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil.

A) wants a coalition as they want actual power.
B) Knows they FF/FG dont want a coalition so they can play the at least we tried part
C) force a FG/FF coalition on the cusp of a global downturn so they hoover up the gaps.

pretty shrewd either way

Not necessarily, looking for a 7 seater Quasqai in and around 2012 with good spec. Had a wasted trip up north yesterday, two sold before we got there, one not checking out on motorcheck. They're quite thin on the ground too, the type we want, in NI anyway.

Too awkward to do ourselves, looking to just pay someone to handle it.

[Silver-Tiger]

Been listening to his Podcast for years. I enjoy that. His Stand Up is completely different though and not for everyone. I do like him but surprised at his success in recent years. Playing the 3 Arena is big enough. Not surprised it's not sold out though.

[luckforsome]

Impressive response time.

...He was there...

[ionapaul]

Laz, I contacted a few places in recent months to enquire about them finding and importing a UK-based car for me, in the end I just went up the North to do it myself as what I was willing to spend (less than €15k) made paying a 3rd party a waste of time, would have ended up costing more than 50% of the amount I ended up saving. Probably only worth doing if if you are going to spend €25k+ I'd guess, happy to be proven wrong there.

Saw Bill Burr in Dublin a few years ago and it wasn't an amazing gig by any means; enjoy quite a lot of his stuff but his routine in entirety is just a bit too 'non-PC' for my sensibilities My wife really disliked it!

Let me know how ya get on. Im home for a couple weeks from Friday and playing Palmerstown next Wed.

I played yesterday evening and I really enjoyed it. It's my first game in months, I haven't been to the range at all. It went as expected but I was solid enough off the tee with the driver.
Plenty of water throughout and it's certainly challenging in that regard. I was a member of a nice parkland in Dunmurray but as the guy I was out with mentioned, the difference is the spacing between holes. You don't really see other groups playing different holes which I thought was nice.
It's quite long and another 13/14 it's quite difficult with one 600+ yard hole. You'll certainly enjoy it, it seems in decent nick too. I believe they've pumped alot more money into in recent times.
You're playing alot more than me so you'll pick up alot more subtle aspects you like/dislike but I thought it was worth the money and I'd definitely try to play it again.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/high-court/two-court-challenges-initiated-to-abortion-referendum-result-1.3520188

In an affidavit, Ms Jordan, St Kevin’s Villas, Glenageary Road Upper, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, claims “evidence is coming in of large numbers of potential no voters who were unable to vote due to de-registering”. These, she claims, consisted of groups such as convents of nuns and residents of nursing homes.

She also claims that “thousands of young Irish citizens who were paid to return to vote” were not questioned at polling stations about their time of residency abroad.
She also claims the tally of the number of votes cast per polling box was “not always given” when requested by the No side at the close of voting on May 25th.

She claims she canvassed for a No vote over 17 weeks in Dublin city centre.
“Initially the majority of people were in favour of a ‘yes’ vote. By the beginning of May there was a shift to a ‘no’ vote which continued until the 24th of May,” she says in her grounding affidavit.
She said a “foreign journalist” told her on Thursday night May 24th, the eve of the referendum, the polls were showing a “2.6 per cent differential”.
“Within 24 hours, the result showed an increase of 20 per cent. Such a swing is not possible.”

She claims the tally of the number of votes cast per polling box was “not always given” when requested by the No side at the close of voting on May 25th. That, she said, “begs the question” whether the number of ballots counted from 9am on May 26th was the same as the number of ballots in the boxes at 10pm on May 25th.

There was some talk of a World Cup Sweep in here last week, and people looking for some ideas. I did one for work; designed to try to keep people's interests for the duration and to allow people that don't know anything about football a chance of getting money back, or making a small profit.

Nobody will become rich from it, but if some people collect €20e by the end of it, they will see it as a great success. It's just for a bit of fun!

Everything below is worth €10

Winner*
Runner-Up*
3rd Place*
4th Place*
Nationality Of Golden Boot – If it’s tied, the player who scored fewest penalties wins. If still tied, prize is split.
Team With The Worst Record – If more than 1 team finishes on 0 points, it will be decided by goal difference, goals conceded, goals scored. If still level, prize will be split
Biggest Win - 7-1 is a bigger win than 6-0
Biggest Defeat – 7-1 is a bigger defeat than 6-0
Most Goals In A Game (Pay Both Teams) – Both teams will get paid €5 each. If more than 1 game wins, the game where the 1st goal was scored earliest wins.
Knock England Out – The team that KO’s England wins €10. If England don’t make it out of the group, both teams that qualified get €5 each
Highest Possession Stat In A Game – I will get this info from a site
Lowest Possession Stat In A Game - I will get this info from a site
Dirtiest Team - Yellow cards count as 1, and red cards count as 2. Highest total wins.
First Red Card – Straight red or 2 yellows
Last Straight Red Card – Straight red only (Does not include managers)
First Penalty Scored – During normal gameplay. Not penalty shootout
First Penalty Saved– During normal gameplay. Not penalty shootout
First Team To Win On Penalties – During the knockout stages
First Team To Lose On Penalties– During the knockout stages
Team Scored The Most Goals – Does not include penalty shootouts
Fastest Goal Scored – As it says on the tin
First Substitute To Score - As it says on the tin
First Goal Celebration To Include A Backflip – The player who scored must perform and LAND the backflip. If he lands on his arse……….then unlucky!
First Goal Scored In Added Time – First goal scored after 45 or 90 minutes (referee’s added time)
First Goal Scored In Extra Time – When the knockout games goes to extra time
First Player From The Premier League To Score – He must be registered with a Premier League club now.
Player To Score With The Longest Surname – My decision is final. Brazil players will use their football name, and not the 17 names their parents gave them.
The 3rd Player To Score With A Header – Not all about firsts
The 4th Player To Score Outside Of The Box – Not all about firsts
Team To Concede Twice In The Shortest Space Of Time – Must be during normal play, and cannot be split over 2 halves.
Thunderbastard – The player that scores the goal from the longest distance out
First Manager To Leave His Job – Either during the World Cup, or after.

*Just to leave something to play for, the 40e will be split €15, €12.50, €7.50, €5

Nice one good to hear. Have heard the hazards are basically always in play. Long will be somewhat problematic too I suspect as I don't drive particularly far. My buddy is a member there so Im sure he will help me out with some strategy on each hole.
