    I'll investigate that tomorrow. Any idea how much the maps cost?

    Think I saw 5 for something and forty more for everything, somewhere in boards recently, if that makes sense.

    If your uncle has a claim on commanage it might be listed on his own deeds.

    I would guess that the owner went to America years ago and was never heard of since.

    €25 I think. It's around that anyway.

    I think its 20 quid for the folio and 20 more for the map printed and posted

    You can get the folio number online and then you have to use that on landdirect or can call in to their offices.

    It's not major anyway. I was nearly going through all that last year.

    Both schools had a list of work out this morning before 9:30

    Secondary school have an online platform to upload work and teachers correct it there.

    National school have a class specific email address for work to be returned to and it’s corrected and feeedback given.

    We’d be happy to finish out the school year working like this.

    Why in God's name are FF/FG proposing that? It's more like a SF/PBP policy.


    Would be pretty sure a referendum like that would be lost.


    The free market is the best judge of what market value is for land - and most other things for that matter. If buyer and seller agree on a price as happens in every transaction that should determine the matter. Otherwise the cap is only transferring value from the seller to the buyer and why should the State favour one over the other?

    This is some joke

    But i wouldn't be so sure it would be defeated in a referendum. You can be damn sure that everybody would be saying this would see the end to the "housing crisis" as land could be bought cheaper and houses therefore cheaper etc etc.

    I think it would pass

    this ducking "housing crisis" is the greatest con job ever in the history of Ireland - there isn't a housing crisis. What you have is a cohort of people who are demanding free housing of the highest standard in the exact areas they want. And they want someone else to pay for it.

    I think it would win in a referendum. Far more individuals looking to buy/get a free house than landowners.

    Government have proposed some equally astonishing things.
    Before the election FG were proposing to pass into law that all abuse case files be closed and locked for 70 years....
    From any position, legally, morally, or from any humanitarian aspect, that stinks to high heaven.

    I know this has been done before, but I feeling awful stupid this afternoon. I've uploaded a couple of pics from my phone of my pet goat and got them as far as the desktop but how do I get them as far as putting them where ye can see them? We have had such entertainment from her these past few weeks. She has made lock-down more bearable for my girls. She is about 6 weeks old and doing mighty.

    Bull calves export and being killed was just discussed on Moncrief Radio programme. Some one from " Ethical farming Ireland' with an English accent being interviewed

    Claimed staff at lairages at EU ports still mistreating animals as was reported by the usual groups and that the Dept of Ag reassurances have supposedly not made any differences

    That allegedly 1000s were been killed purely due to Covid and that exports were a huge risk with lorries and whatnot going in and out of the country. Veal demand across the EU down.

    Also hilariously claim we'ed all starved if we couldn't get supplies of all the imported fruit and veg. Oh and funnily enough that we should increase horticultural production and 'plant based diets'

    Balanced discussion it was not.

    True. I've heard some industries cannot enough green diesel because the big storage depots are full of aviation fuel, and had to take in the fuel in transit on ships. That had to go into stores normally used for green.

    Filling the tanks at home tomorrow. 1:03 for road diesel for the car, and I think 47c for the tractor stuff

    Brian, I see yesterday that only one third of UK children have engaged in any online schooling, provided by teachers. We value education fairly highly.
    But some families in Ireland too not engaging.

    How do I buy this?

    There will be plenty of opportunities to make a killing in stocks and shares and housing in the near future for those with access to money.

    Every crisis brings opportunity.

    Housing will be a dead duck for a while.
    Same with horses and such.

    Anything that's lost value quickly already with this Covid and looks to have hit rock bottom is where to go.

    I wonder is it, though?

    We will still need in excess of 25k housing units every year and I'm wondering if the Government that's coming in will be looking at a huge investment in building social housing, some of it on lands bought under the proposed capped prices, to kick start the economy. Some apartments and a lot of estates all over Dublin, with a few dozen schemes thrown out to the rest of the country. Killing 3 birds with one stone, boosting the economy, providing housing and reducing the housing lists.

    Likewise here Brian.
    Home Ec. Project for today was to make a sponge cake, and photograph the stages.
    I got a text to bring cream, raspberries and strawberries home.
    Completed cake photographed and emailed to the teacher..
    Having a piece now, and it's not bad at all!
