Is that not the function of the op-ed piece or editorial to interpret and explain what is happening rather than it being contained in the headline? I agree with your interpretation but it seems to be reporting ร  la Fox News.

Some think it's a capital idea but I'm not so sure.

The 'creation' of jobs by supermarkets is always a bit iffy. It probably means some local shop is going to close and the already hollowed out town centre will be further diminished. No doubt we will need a commission/ special task force to figure out why with the same politicians leading the way.

It is Blarney park, apt name.

Good to see the word classics again. Much prefer it to monuments.

Hard to believe the level of idiocy on display by Trump et al. I'd call it infantile except that is doing a disservice to infants.

Watching Eurosport since the early 1990s and now this. Can't see myself paying the new fee. Too much of a hike in the one go.

They should give hints. 8 characters, 1 uppercase 1 other character, 1 numeric value,etc. It's the weird ones catch me out and cause me to update and needlessly increment the numeric value by one

I think the point is that this is part of the Unesco criteria:
"Evidence of local community and stakeholder support for World Heritage status are critical requirements in respect of applications to the tentative list."

Hard to know why media turn to Carlow Weather for information rather than Met Eireann. Has he got a few satellites we don't know about? Good for 'content' and entertaining the punters I suppose, so fills a gap.
