Catherine Conolly, would you hire someone who shot a policeman and then stole his hat, then went to the toilet in his hat, and then sent it to the policeman's grieving widow, and then stole it again?

If people all over the world could wrap their heads around voting for "the least worst" instead of abstaining, the world would be in an awful lot better place.

Ok. Not while houses are primarily being bought for profit, not shelter. People are also buying property for investment, not just investment firms.

No, they live here. They now say that after 10 years, EU workers will get โ‚ฌ80pw upon retirement...

I am ok with creators just popping in 20-30 years later to see how the characters are doing.
As long as they're not recast...

Ok folks. Need your help.
I have a relative who is convinced that EU workers can work in Ireland for 10 years, go back home and claim 100% Irish pension at retirement age, but Irish people have to work 40 years.
I'm 99.9% certain that's untrue. What say you?

I think the orange order isn't important around that area. I had a protestant girlfriend from Monaghan and all her family were in the order, no biggie.
Also, if we ever do unite Ireland, the OO is still going to be around. We can't/shouldn't be banning it.

Starting from scratch I believe. Tbh, there's so much we don't know. Will the application be extended to arts workers, for one?

I was heartbroken when the scheme was announced, but we were specifically excluded from the scheme.

It does need to be expanded to people that work alongside artists, that rely on arts council funding, like stage technicians, stage managers, costume assistants, curators etc.
