Anyone fancy helping the homeless while we're on topic store.subset.ie has art prints from grey area project as well as t shirts and that. Helping two good causes.
Winner is first team to 15 EPL total goals at the end of a match.
If more than one team reaches it in the same matchweek it will go on -
A) which match was played first
B) minute the 15th goal was scored if matches kicked off at the same time
If your team goes over 15 during a match your next target will be 30.
5 teams not included - Brighton, Watford, Huddersfield, Cardiff & Fulham.
Think that's everything - glgl (sent Flushdraw a pre-randomized list as a neutral observer)
Actually goes on KO time then minute as per above....

Ugh, I clicked onto that fully expecting/intending to buy a print but just got bewildered and disheartened by how shit the website is and gave up.
They are definitely in giveaway mode - PR-wise at least making it sound like that - going by the announcements I'm seeing in my twitter feed at the moment.
Some good stuff in there like investment in sports infrastructure for schools (separate Shane Ross slush fund for hockey pitches in South Dublin presumably) and what sounds like really good plans for libraries:

Probably need a citation for the 1/10 you are implying was good

So I want city to score 4 before Chelsea get 5, and score no more than 4 for the scoop. Seems plausible. Hopefully nothing mad happens in the early game, although if something mad meant that Liverpool scored 6 I'd be ok with it.
Random thought about the housing/planning etc conversation that has been going on...
I just saw where this rugby museum thing JP is trying to build in Limerick has been waiting for An Bord Pleanala to make a decision on it for a year, and they are not going to meet their own deadline for the decision due to a backlog of cases.
THERE are fresh delays to Limerick's International Rugby Museum, it was confirmed this Thursday. An Bord Pleanala has this week written to interested parties to the museum, backed by JP McManus to the tune of €10m, telling them that “due to a backlog of cases” at the authority, it w...
I'm ambivalent about the project but they're talking about ploughing 10 million quid into developing a site in Limerick city centre and they can't get an answer back on whether they are allowed to build it or not. We also had a complete debacle with that Apple data centre in Athenry stuck in planning hell for so long they just gave up on it.
What is actually the problem here, as in why does it take so long to get given or refused planning? Surely it couldn't cost too much money to say double or triple the number of people who make these decisions etc?

these are pictures of the paintings rather than screens of the art itself?

It sounds like you guys have been extremely unlucky. That's such a dreadful position to be in, I feel for ye.
What can anyone even do with a person like that?
Not an awful lot it seems. Other than move house.
We were over the moon in April when a For Sale sign went up, owner is trying to get rid of her. She threatens them and the agent any time they try to gain access to put it on the market.
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Not a great time to be trying to move house either. Do ye own the place ye are in at the moment?
At least if the landlord is actively trying to remedy the situation there might be a bit of light at the end of the tunnel if ye hold tough.

Going back into the Cold War era doesn't help your argument, whatever it is.
Seems to be a doomed attempt at moral equivalency.

Yeah that's the plan he went for. Said he was paying €35 a month already so didn't mind the extra €15 too much. He's into his phones.
I finished a 2 yr contract in July and swore never again. Wouldn't mind I have an S8. But fast charge won't work anymore and a slight crack on top corner of screen but phone working perfect. I just love shiny new phones lol.
Eoghan Murphy spent more time trying to "sweat down" the apartment standards to make it more profitable for builders to build than actually getting anything built. He has said that any state lands used for housing developments must be 40% affordable housing, Why only 40% if this is state land? Why not 100%
FFS I'd rather have the chinese come in and Belt and Road us up a few towns with subway connectivity before eoghan Murphy selling off our land for the enrichment of private individuals.
What's more, he thinks 320k is "affordable".

ABP say the problem is they are significantly understaffed at the minute and they have recently been landed with additional responsibilities suvh as strategic housing development aswell. Nothing large scale gets decided within the 18 week window anymore, we tell our clients that it'll be a min of 6 months. To be a board inspector you need a min of 5 years planning so not a lot of those types floating about. I don't think I'd like to work in their or a council.
We may be currently working on a data centre which may have received an objection from mr apple objector sadly nothing to stop yhis happening in the current system
20 Major/JPB missing from that typical expat list.
haha, i guess it is typical but i think those are things i prob get a craving for the most, nothing like a cup of oxtail soup and bread and butter right before bed.
We are nowhere near to becoming a Venezuela and never will be. Also, the use of the word seizing is over dramatic. I'm sure that you are aware that the people occupying these buildings are not looking to keep them and live in them for free. They are occupying them on a temporary basis as a means to highlight the issue. Real politics has has done jack shit for the people most in need over the past decade.
Describing the illegal occupation of someone else's property as seizing is over dramatic? What alternative facts are you presenting Chairman Lao?
Ah sure the lads were only having a laugh and temporarily denying access to other peoples vacant property because they are working for a noble cause like...
I think the Venezuelan government used the same argument with Smurfit Kappa in Venezuela, where the staff were happy to stay coming to work merely because there was affordable food in the canteen.
I'm just poking a bit of fun at Brian above.
My post was actually about the promotion of the idea that the state should in some way compel the owners of vacant sites to use them in a certain way or hand them over. The details of the current protesters and their methods are just noise and distraction. I agree with the idea of a vacancy tax and a compulsion to maintain property and a significant increase in property taxes to encourage downsizing and to dampen down the urban property markets.
BUT if the state wants to acquire properties let them pay for them, any other approach is dangerous fantasy.
Of course that will distort the market for the people trying to look after themselves. Therefore the state has to address the supply side for both the homeless folk and the regular working people trying to put a roof over their own heads.
This takes time, planning and a broader housing solution. Could it be done quicker? Yes. Are there any votes in working to reduce planning delays and/or addressing bottlenecks in the system? Currently No, because the people concerned about the homeless don't seem to vote for parties/individuals who are making sensible incremental progress but the advocates of simple to chant solutions...It's depressing really as there are so many poverty traps and stupid dead ends being promoted at present that merely treat the symptoms but won't cure the patient.
By the way the economy is going very well, unemployment has fallen significantly and we still can't balance the books. We have the highest level of debt per capita in the EU and Brexit is around the corner. We have a rollercoaster of boom and bust ahead of us for years to come because we continue to repeat the same mistakes. Wait until interest rates rise and our biggest export market is in a recession....

Land costs are the biggest issue for private developers. The State has land, thus removing the costs on this. There is absolutely no reason with that in mind that affordable properties should be 320k. It's almost arbitrarily set at that to ensure a higher cost for the other 60% of developments.

i have no idea what other stuff my mind is blank and googling hasnt really helped at all
I order tea by times but found a place here that does Yorkshire tea which is close enough. Not too much stuff I miss other than that, tesco garlic mayo maybe.

yeah tea is def the big one, they have english breakfast tea here that just isnt close to anything from home at all. the other stuff i could live without but will still get some sent over.

It seems like training up and/or hiring a shitload of people for ABP would be the ultimate bang for buck measure!

Decent sausages! Shipping them is obv not viable but man.... there is a massive gap in the market here for a decent sausage.
This 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.
The author is not liable for any issue arising from the platitudinous nature of this post.

100% pudding and bacon also here is severely lacking, sausage's are closer to bratwurst or something, the bacon usually just comes in one big lump and have to cut it yourself but its not the same
You're assuming that 40% of those 9891 people in Ireland
1. want to live in Dublin
2. want to live in those particular places in Dublin
3. will be accepted in those areas in Dublin they are being moved to
You are assuming that just because 5 generations lived within 100 meters of each other that this generation won’t be able to navigate the bus routes to go a few miles to visit.
Will the parents be accepted into the new community. Depends on if they are someone who needs the support because life gave them a shitty roll but do try to contribute or they are a total scrote. In Lazares case previous tenants or current tenant.
If they are shitty people than only a shitty community will accept them. Best to break those communities up for the kids sake. Obviously serious nimbyism would come into play if they were my neighbours.

During the old celtic tiger they hired a load of scottish inspectors who got paid mileage/expenses from the moment they left their door in Scotland until they had carried out their reports here and back. They were getting paid silly money
Eoghan Murphy... has said that any state lands used for housing developments must be 40% affordable housing, Why only 40% if this is state land? Why not 100%
".
so you would prefer that all people who qualify for social and affordable housing people are grouped together in high density low developments out of sight of the others.
It's shocking how prelevant that kind of thinking is amongst supposed progressives.
