He's become so committed to this now he's left office

County Council pours cold water on promising Bray-Greystones coastal path report Popular 7km coastal route was closed in 2021 following rockfalls and erosion

Leaving this closed for four years is appallingly stupid. We're right beside it and it's magic. It's a cliff, you get rockfalls. Make it as safe as you can but just get on with it

A clear attempt to boost the Heather Humphries presidential campaign!

Who was the first Amazon guy who said 'yeah, I'd better put this in the bin for safe keeping'?

Oh no

Very much the approach Jesus took with his own designer clothing and contempt for the left

The only time I find it really hard is when I'm starving and there's no decent vegetarian food. Midnight at weddings is often a killer

Haha very true actually, it was a total mish mash. I only did it in first year but was really glad to- a lot of stuff I'd never have the patience to read now and am worse for it

Oh my god, yeh the stories even then were crazy but all seem to have been pretty on form

He taught me Asian philosophy and in fairness was great

I find myself checking it now Twitter is effectively gone and it's a very empty replacement

'...the interviewer was the dog'

It's such a strange place

Cos of the nice slacks

They could tell how much each was used by the wear on the keys alone

But alt gr was sacrosanct apparently?

And the inheritance tax threshold impacting 3% of the population. It's just so instinctive as a way of seeing the world

Could a small amount be put aside in the Budget to paint the internal walls in university buildings please? I'll go round and do it all personally if necessary

Ciarán Casey: Lack of vision has wasted Ireland's unplanned tax windfall The pageantry of Budget Day means that politicians will aim to avoid landmines, then go back to business as usual, writes Ciarán Casey

If you do work for your parents and charge them you pay 53% tax on the upper threshold. If you build a company and sell it to them it's a third. But if they just give you the money for nothing then it'd be sinful to tax it

I've just submitted an newspaper article on the Budget and now see the usual inane nonsense about increasing inheritance tax thresholds as a moral imperative. Perish the thought that the most fortunate 3% of the population pays some tax on that good fortune. The forgotten minority
