I wouldn’t be giving him any credit to be honest. He should have gone when Mandelson left his post as US ambassador.

I wouldn’t have agreed two weeks ago but now, well yes.

🙄How honourable of him to have skipped off home before the announcement

No thank you - let them hold onto him - we have enough sléibhíns on the books over here. The US might be more his style

Definitely don’t know much about the biological sciences. And don’t care either.

Love how Patrick’s final point is basically “I know you’re reading this Collision, cop on for yourself”

They really need to make the journey south. Never heard of them til we went to Donegal/Derry for our summer hols a few years back. Im a sucker for coconut so was v impressed

Not just our country unfortunately.
Was very glad when Liam Quaide ran in our constituency and we finally had a SD on the ballot

Two Cork men no less

👏🏻

Easily confused with Rug rats maybe?

Its tough going - twice - but worth it

Also was Epstein the only one with this level of connection across so many realms of society - doubtful? Probably others out there still providing those services and collecting information

I often wonder do these lads know the origin of the names of places like Derry. Maybe he should look for it to called Londonoak if he’s being all British about it

I cycled into school & then to college in the centre of Cork city in the 80s from the age of 12 in busy morning traffic. Rarely felt unsafe - it was a great way to get around. Live very rurally now and my teens don’t even own bikes. Occasionally see a few boys cycling in the summer. Way too risky

Can’t believe its there 30 years - such a great restaurant. Went to one of their Met at the cinema opera nights years ago - nowhere in Cork did it at the time. Must try to get back before it closes - at least its on their terms.

Hadn’t seen this when I suggested Kattenkabinet as well - great collection with the added benefit of live-in cats who love rubs

If you like cats…

Everyone has their prejudices. When I started work in Teagasc years ago, I was told you’d never think you were from the city (with the understanding that being city-reared wasn’t a positive). It wasn’t the first time it was alluded to - similar happened in college.

Everything You Never Really Cared To Know About Groundhog Day

Listened to a short Everything Everywhere Daily podcast earlier about the origin of Groundhog Day & within the first two mins Imbolc was mentioned. Maybe the lads need to expand their knowledge beyond the 1970s primary school curriculum open.spotify.com/episode/5Ekb...

The Pruntys

He’s described as pale during illness - its contradictory. I studied it over 30 years ago for the Leaving and Mediterranean seems to have to in my head. The Liverpool connection would make the Irish theory fit (or any other place they traded with!)

Congratulations to you and your family. Its a tough time with many, many milestones and thats a very big one - mat Róisín continue to thrive. My 26-weeker is now 19 and facing the milestone of his pre-leaving starting Tuesday.

Irish-Canadian

It looks brilliant. Bringing my 15 year old to see it in the Triskel in Cork. She’s a huge fan.

We have recently learned the lively and lovely Alan Cutts arrangement of the Star of the County Down. The sheet music SSA and SATB versions are on the MTU website

Id never thought of the disclaimer size - I have logos and animations blocked. Would a link to a disclaimer on the organizations home page be an option I wonder? Some of the disclaimers are huge and on a email thread can be repeated numerous times

Oh I wish it was The Rest is History that they listened to without headphones on buses/trains

I couldn’t find words for her versions of Sinead O Connor’s Troy and John Prine’s Angel from Montgomery. And shes a multi instrumentalist.
