I recall a private email that the Fitz sent out a while back being mentioned here.
I believe it alluded to rising costs among other things.
Perhaps the legislation impacted all the casinos/poker clubs but it was a further impetus to move on for the Fitz.

Also, on a related matter - why did Kerry have so many newspapers?
"In 1902, twelve newspapers were published every week in Tralee. "
Michael O’Donohoe made great use of the local Kerry newspapers in his historical researches of Castleisland, most notably Tim Harrington’s Kerry Sentinel, printed in Tralee. In 1902, twelve …
I feel like people don't notice how odd Kerry is.
"A writer in a rival publication remarked that ‘many a time has the editor of the Tralee Chronicle joined with the Kerry Evening Post in ridiculing and very properly too, the puffing practices so often and so glaringly resorted to by the defunct Kerry Examiner in writing and printing most laudatory and fulsome letters addressed to himself under various anonymous signatures’.16"

MaaaaaaamThis may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Is the ownership of the Fitz still spread across a fairly large number of shareholders?
I'd scanned the papers for looking for how the new legislation would facilitate 'Private Clubs', while it wasn't spelt out I'd assumed given the amount of lobbying they had done that there was a niche for them in it, very surprised they weren't accommodated.Last edited by Strewelpeter; 16-12-19, 20:22.Turning millions into thousands

Education question for the parents among you.
HiFi jr. is eligible to start junior infants next Sept but he will still be 4 and among the youngest in his class.
We have the option of keeping him in montessori (albeit, no longer free) for another year and send him to junior infants in Sept 2021 when he will be much more mature and among the oldest.
The general consensus is that it's a no-brainer to hold him back BUT our concern is that he's already well advanced with numbers, can copy writing and is mad to read and if we keep him in montessori but get him doing junior infants stuff like reading, writing and arithmetic (to use the old terms) could this be a disadvantage when he does go to school as he could be ahead of the other kids or does that even matter at his age?
So do we:
a) Send him to junior infants in Sept?
b) Keep him in montessori but not push ahead with his interest in reading and, in particular, numbers?
c) Keep him back but get him learning to read and write etc..?
d) AN Other?
Thoughts welcome. (FWIW his montessori teachers believe he is mature enough to go to school and have no concerns there but also that there would be no harm whatsoever in holding him back.)

There's no harm in him being "ahead" of some of the others when he goes to school. They will all be at different levels anyway. If his teacher is good he'll be fine.

I was 4 when starting. Had just turned 4 in July and I think I was too young for stuff later on.
I didn't get into TY and ended up doing leaving at 16 and had an average one tbh but I wouldn't blame my age on that.
17 the whole way through 1st year in uni led to me getting refused into many a place 🙄
Also..it MAAAAMMMMMM!Redbet at the Dublin Poker Invasion FTW

That's not young at all My daughter started at 4yr 8 months and my son 4yr5 months. He'd be one of the older kids in the class born in November imo.

If he is just going to be a few months shy of 5 when he starts, he is the perfect age and I would not hold him back another year.

Not a bother. And we eventually found out she never did the lessons in Montessori as too busy looking for craic.
I would check though, lots of schools now have a minimum age in place for starting junior infants.Last edited by Raoul Duke III; 16-12-19, 22:30."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

He's not too young compared to many who will be starting.
Plenty of scope to push on with reading and numbers at home.
Its very hard to organise nowadays but repeating a year between 2rd or 4th class is often a good way to compensate from starting too earlyLast edited by Strewelpeter; 16-12-19, 22:58.Turning millions into thousands

* Did fine but I compare it to when I used to go training with U15 team (to help fill out numbers) when I was an U17
U17 I was a kid, U15 I was like a bully, only few months in the difference between me and most of the U15 lads, **Christ half of them were bigger than me but they bounced off me

R.i.P. Fitzwilliam.
Legal advice says it's possible that individual employees who enable gambling can be personally liable to prosecution/fines so they've ceased trading.
An upcoming rent review would also have financial implications as their current deal was too sweet to be repeated.Last edited by DeeBrown; 17-12-19, 03:05.
