If that is the case then it means you are allergic to alcohol (alcohol is very high in histamines in general), so best of luck with the rest of your long long miserably healthy life without drinking.
I am not sure what you are getting at? Obviously I have no idea who this person is that was attacked...
He is a Dublin Hurler who was the victim of a random unprovoked attack... a relatively mild version of the kind of thing Dubs hero Scumbag Connolly carries out for fun.
Should just grow a pair and tweet that instead of giving it the big man act here when there's a 0% chance he will ever see it. You'd probably shit yourself if he was walking towards you anyway

True, I would just have to roll with the punches and try to play dead anyhow I didn't have enough nasty in me to publish it and what happened to O'Dwyer was nasty enough to let him tell his story.

For such a seemingly intelligent person you do spout some sh*t about Dublin Footballers....
what do you think of the unprovoked attack on Johnny Cooper on a night out..... as sure he's just a Dublin scumbag footballer aswell I suppose...
Just cannot understand the hatred Strewelpeter... baffles me to be honest...

Was there in June but was drunk pretty much the entire time and not really noticing the surroundings. Ah so it is taking off so, that's cool
Town center is a cluster fuck with Luas works they are so slow to finish it.
Business around Westmoreland and now Dawson street must be terribly affected.
I stopped and watched the lads working at the top of O'Connell street a few weeks ago, there were more than 20 lads , the vast majority bystanders looking on as their colleagues were using hammers and measuring tapes in what struck me as a very 20th century approach to laying tram lines.
Maybe it has to be done that way but it does take a very long time.

Think a lot of the work was underground. Filling in basements and redoing sewerage and pipes and whatnot. The demolition of Bolands Mills was quite violent and scary in real time, very sanitised in any vids I could find
Bit surprised that UK home office can just say that they aren't allowing a PSG player into the country for the CL game v Arsenal.
He's no saint obviously but hardly the only footballer with a criminal conviction.
I'd have thought there was some unwritten freedom of movement guarantee in the background for footballers.
Thin end of the wedge surely with the likes of Messi maybe getting a conviction for tax fraud soon, they going to ban him for a big knockout game? Perhaps they can ban some players for questionable political statements? Obviously they'd be up in arms if some other countries treated English players this way.
Increasingly looking like I'll be supporting Axis in the next World War.

Are you saying he should be treated differently because he's a soccer player?
Then sometimes you meet a culchie who needs money to get home, always beside a train station and they look awful like they've been on drugs but are obviously just not used to being stuck in a bad place like Dublin. Will always give them real irish people money to get home.
He can't go after her while Obama is still there, that would give him an excuse to pardon her. No way the Donald drops it once he is in. Drain the swamp and all that .

I was out on the north quays yesterday with a colleague.
Pointed out a load of barriers and general building junk on the opposite quay. Supposed to become a cycle lane. Then pointed at an enormous office building, near-completed, looming behind it.
The Council have been working on the former for at least two years.
The latter wasn't there two months ago.

Is there any scheme like the British ISA in Ireland e.g. that allows you to put in a certain amount each year for investing and then keep any capital gains on stocks in a protected-from-tax envelope?
Unfortunately not. A crying shame that we went down the SSIA route instead of creating a long term savings vehicle like ISAs.

And now the even longer-term and creatively named LISAs
The fact they allow withdrawals for house deposits and other major life events seems to allow them get around many peoples objections to pensions. I think they'll be massively popular. In Ireland we instead have 41% tax on growth which is levied every 8 years and fuck you if the asset falls in value in year 9 as there is no rebate.

Feckers. Seems like such an obvious thing to create if you are worried that people aren't putting enough aside.
They aren't worried. They pay lip service to the problem but they want people spending and paying VAT. The current body politic does not care about the long term problems they are helping to store up.

The work on the Clontarf road must be going on 3 years. Plenty of guys looking in holes there too with people looking at the people looking in holes
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

ugh the word 'flip-flops' needs to be banned from all sensible political conversations. We're essentially sending a message to all politicians: if you ever once express a thought, then you must never change it no matter what new information arrives.
Whilst I fully agree with the sentiment, and the oft-misattributed-to-Keynes quotation : "When the Facts Change, I Change My Mind. What Do You Do, Sir?", there is a world of difference in someone changing a position naively and someone updating their position based upon new facts.
Pejoratively they're all called 'flip flops' of course.
We'd all be happy for Trump to change his mind and agree with the scientific consensus on Climate Change for example, but we would prefer if the 'change' wasn't founded on something as weak as a Simpson's episode. Big swingy changes based on sandy foundations are not great news from a policy director!

I've mentioned it a few times, but the infrastructure deficit is alarming and only getting worse. We savaged, and I mean absolutely savaged infrastructure and capital spending in the wake of the GFC and we are nowhere near restoring that.
Infrastructure is the unsexiest thing ever though, not going to win you as many votes as a €5 week social welfare increase and restoration of the Christmas Bonus, nor taking 70 thousand out of the tax net etc.
These short-term-focused decisions are going to cost us bigly over the next decades, as once again we inflate a state within crumbling walls instead of taking a breather and building some more resources for it to grow into safely.
