A quarter is less than 3 quarters missus.

Maybe the parents were kicked around the playground and are now passing their fears onto their childer

Bunch of fcuking know-it-alls on the phone today.

These people are seriously irritating, not to mention rude.

Do they teach their children how to talk over others I wonder. They're very good at that.

That's cause a lot of public schools in America are jungles, with metal detectors!

She does not believe in Primary or secondary schools but seems to be all for universities... a lack of consistency there I think.....

I'm starting to see the merits of primary school kids being told to put their fingers on their lips and be quiet. It's quite the life lesson for when you're on Joe Duffy.

That's exactly what I thought, too. It was a jungle for him, in retrospect.
Fair enough, but he fails to realise it wasn't / isn't a jungle most of the time for most people.
Sure, I can recall one or two eejits in playgrounds, but it didn't colour my opinions of playgrounds in general. It was an early illustration of the principle ... there are assholes everywhere.

Is it my ears or do most of these people calling not have irish accents

Here's Mary with her rebuttal on why they're a bunch of heathen law breakers up there.

ThisRegard

No young people there. Well that's hardly the Dubs fault is it.

I'm glad they are our checking and wanting kids to register, its ok for these types that are educating their kids but what about the ones that aren't. FFS it can't be that hard to fill in a form if they are all so clever, smart and educated!

Roger_007

Donegal.......where they are entitled to everything but will pay for nothing!

CountyHurler

Well that's what ye get for destroying football..

signostic

All the home schooled should be sent to Donegal...a barren place according to this wan...

A teacher ? Surely someone will give him a job in their home.
