I heard a mention on the radio yesterday that there is a case being taken against the Irish Government (maybe by Ryanair ) to allow customers recover the taxes and Airport charges for unused flights.
Obv you should only lose the airfare if you don't take the flight. but the payout will cost the taxpayer a fortune especially if the ruling is retrospective.

[DAMO72]

What's the legal definition of man slaughter?

The above would not fit into my thinking

Don't have exact definition, but to be a crime, an action must have two elements, the physical element (the actus reus) and the mental element (the mens rea).

For murder, there must be both the killing (physical element) and the intention to kill (mental element).
For manslaughter, must be the killing, but don't have to prove the intention was to kill, a 'lesser intention' is enough to prove the crime.

Because it is difficult to prove 'intention to kill' as distinct, from example, an 'intention to greviously harm' or 'negligence about whether someone would be killed or not', people are often charged with manslaughter instead, or allowed to plead to the 'lesser charge' of manslaughter instead of murder.

Theoretically, the potential penalty for all homicides (ie murder and manslaughter) are imprisonment up to and including life imprisonment, but because in manslaughter cases the high standard if intention to kill was not proved, sentences for manslaughter are usually less.

Hey all,

Quick one for yee. I'm looking to get rid of a 1.4 Petrol Golf and get a 1.6 or 1.9 Diesel alternative.
I'm looking for a car that will be economical on Diesel and reliable for doing a fair bit of mileage.

Would a Passat be my best bet?

Any other ideas would be great.

Cheers.

I love my Citroen C5 1.6 Diesel.
A C5 will cost you a lot less than a Passat the only downside is that servicing can be expensive if you use a Citroen garage but its a ridiculously comfortable car and is wearing pretty well at the moment considering I treat it like shit and its done 5 years and 200K Km. I drive the goolies out of it but I still easily get 55MPG from it.

If you don't do too much mileage, I would get a petrol. While a diesel's fuel economy is better, people put too much significance in this, and as a result it will cost you significantly more upfront to buy a diesel over it's petrol equivalent.

horse racing tip for any interested:

Eyre Square 3.25 at Newcastle, should be about 11/2

How good is this tip?? Did it come from the horse

[Keane]

Limerick City Centre to the Luas in Stillorglin in two hours flat - well played IMO.

Anybody tell me where to get the 37 bus from that would be closest to Stephens Green heading in the Castleknock direction?

Preferably use landmarks rather than street names :P

The thing is I'm 1 step away from a job in Cork and I'll be commuting every week until I sort out car pooling. I think that diesels are more economical for long haul journeys and if I have to downgrade a few years to afford 1 I don't mind.

Selling private these days is a nightmare I'd say, so I'll probably have to trade in to a dealers.

Ah yeah well in that case obv a diesel would be better.

Wouldn't necessarily say the selling privately is bad. If it's priced right, it will sell. Plus, trading in with the dealer will give you far less room for negotiation.

Unfortunately Citroen C5s are for people who were born in the 1920s

Youd be better selling it private , a dealer will only pump the price of his car and give you feck all for yours .
If you do go the garage route then get a mate to go in and get a price for a straight cash deal on the car you want and then at least you'll know how much he is screwing you for when you turn up with your trade in .

Folks, bit of a long shot but if anyone can help mucho apreciato.

I've been contacted by Dublin Zoo about putting in a small market over three weekends next month, it's to coincide with a fully sold out family xmas event they're running.

Problem for me is it needs to be mostly craft based, children's toys, gifts etc.. but most of my contacts are food vendors.

I have a few lined up but I need five or six more, if any of you know anybody in that line of business let me know.

Also, I'm trying to get in touch with somebody that can sell roasted chestnuts, street vendor type. If anyone can help there too.

I know a girl who makes her own jewellery and has sold it on stalls before in town. Is this the type of thing you are looking for?

Better off walking to Tara and getting the Train to Castleknock or Coolmine. Bus usually takes an hour

law and order

just reading the IT there and there's a story on the second page about a guy who got convicted of manslaughter after ramming a guy's car, dragging him out, attacking him with a machete and then driving over him

the judge gave him nine years

here's the bit that I thought interesting:



the guy's a recidivist violent criminal, surely it's irresponsible NOT to take his previous form into consideration? Kayroo?

I know that this is second hand news and I might have missed something but how is hacking a guy with a machete and running him over manslaughter. That seems like clear murder to me. I dont see why his previous violent history cant be used either. So thats 9 years out in 5\6 I presume seems a little light.

EDIT - Sorry just read through the rest of the posts. So it was a plea bargain because his bird wanted to give misleading testimony. I think possible he could have got murder with a lenient sentence for coming clean and I am pretty sure that purjury will cover her for a few years locked up also.

[Iago]

this is clearly the best penalty ever

For the late night sessions, i usually hook up a 24" monitor to the laptop and had it going last night. This morn when i stuck the laptop on (without the monitor) and HEM is opening off screen and i can't get near it to drag it bag to the laptop. It's never happened before.

I have to restart the laptop if i want to hook the other monitor up. Anyone experienced it before and is there anyway of sorting it? Task manager doesn't help. Cheers

Press the windows key (on keyboard) and the left (or right) arrow at the same time and it should bring it back.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Bank of Ireland looks set to emerge as the dominant force in Irish banking, with any overseas investment in rivals unlikely to materialize until fears are allayed over the country's economic recovery.

With Allied Irish Bank, once Ireland's biggest company, now facing majority state-control and foreign lenders baling out of the Irish market, Bank of Ireland has an unprecedented opportunity to seize control, analysts say.

"It is the natural winner. There's a fundamental opportunity there," said Collins Stewart analyst Gary McCarthy. "It has the strongest capital position and can capitalize on the problems that the (domestic) competition have as well as international competition having left their banking franchises behind."

In a research note last month Goldman Sachs put an implied valuation of 7.4 billion euros ($9.7 billion) on the stock based on forecast 2013 earnings. That is almost three and half times its current market value of 2.2 billion euros.

"On our estimates BOI is well placed to take advantage of eventual macro recovery and its current valuation of 3.6 times recovery earnings (2013) offers meaningful upside," it said.

Goldman Sachs has a 'buy' recommendation on Bank of Ireland but a 'neutral' recommendation on Allied Irish Banks where it sees limited upside for the bank's near-term share price performance given that the state is expected to take a stake of over 90 percent by underwriting a 5.4 billion-euro rights issue.

Goldman Sachs said Allied Irish Banks trades at between six and nine times its forecast recovery earnings for 2013 while European banks on average trade at nine times 2011 earnings and 6.5 times their 2012 earnings.

Interesting. I might set fire to €500 for some BOI shares...

i thought it was always recoverable just most people don't bother and the likes of ryanair make it especially difficult and end up pocketing the money no?
