Bizarre.

What I find unusual is that they are very articulate & impeccably well dressed with robotic like postures.

Usually those sort are dressed like hippies and stooped over

Eunoch looks like such a typical teacher with his bag. I didn't realise his own family look like teachers too. 🤣🤣🤣 Their good names have been affected 🤣🤣🤣

The government should be paying him an appearance fee every time he turns up to school.

He's hogging the headlines while a government minister whispers that paddy will be taking another 80k refugees this year, some of whom turned citywest into a warzone the other night!

Was talking to a fella this evening and the topic of how so many young people are leaving the area in the last 6 months (from what i can see its the same nationwide). He said plain and simple why the hell would any young person stay here in this country it was bad enough before they opened the floodgates and its only going to get worse as it goes on and were supposed to be in pretty good times economically all things considering. Whats it going to be like if the **** hits the fan and the economy goes belly up. Tis disheartening to be fair to see our country heading the way it is and tis hard to have national pride in the country when you see all thats going on and i suppose were not allowed show pride in our country and culture either as its not inclusive of non irish nationals. Before someone gets offended and pulls the racism card which is so commonly used these days im totally in favour of multiculturalism id love it if it was done right, however its far from being done right here all is being created here is a divide and ghettos all over the country look at the UK if you want to see whats in store for us in the future. Australia have the immigration and multiculturalism down to a tee, youre welcome here if you can add value to our country go out and mix with the population celebrate youre cultures with youre fellow countrymen and women no hassle and well celebrate ours but we will not tolerate you disrespecting our culture. Did we have a day celebrating Ukraine here last year at sometime and towards the back end of the year there was videos if a Ukranian woman giving dogs abuse to a fella in Cork for raising concerns about who was going to be accomodated in his home town. Far from embracing multiculturalism at all the opposite in fact, before long we might not be allowed celebrate St Patricks day a straight white Christian male surely that wont be tolerated by the vocal minority for much longer.

Rant/letting off steam over, might have went a small but off topic.

Ill bear that in mind for the next one. English was never a strong subject in school for me due to a learning difficulty (honestly i think a lot of it could have been laziness and lack of interest looking back on it now) and i even bucked the trend by doing pass english and honours Irish for the LC an odd one for someone with no real Gaelgeoir background in a very non Gaelteacht area.

This discussion is going to be shut down and maybe it should.

But my take on would be putting the blame squarely on Putin and Mick Wallace.

Putin for the wars in Ukraine and Syria and using displaced people as weapons of war on the EU and Wallace for shaming the government here into taking all other refugees from Syria and elsewhere besides Ukraine as if they were refused, he classed it as a racist act. He preached in Brussels and Wexford of this and knew exactly what he was doing. He's Putins mouthpiece.

You've a situation where Russian gangs in Georgia are flying in Russians and Georgians to here to crack the system. Papers are torn up before the Irish authorities can see them.

Russians before the war were flying in refugees from Africa to kalliningrad in cargo planes and trying to push them across the border into poland.

I wouldn't be using Australia as a bastion of multiculturalism , you need a serious history lesson re their treatment of the aboriginal community even present day their still treated like something out of Jim crowe America in the 60's

It surely wasnt fair what happened to them in the past however they do have great opportunities there if they would take them. Like all groups you will have some who will excel and take these opportunities with both hands while you have others there who will lay around all day and claim whatever welfare they can. I heard countless stories out there about the first nations people getting the best of houses out there and within a week they are wrecked, where have we hears similar before. On state funded infrastructure jobs the first nations people get preference when applying for jobs as there is an initiative there to employ them in good well paying jobs. They have either a week or a month of the year called NAIDOC where the first nations culture is celebrated and promoted in a bid to educate the rest of the population about it. A lot of what was done to those people was also inflicted on the people of this country over the centuries and even within the last 100 years there is fair similarities of what was done here and in Australia the culprit this time being the church. I know the first few points i made dont compensate enough for what happened but at least its a start.

Did anyone import a commercial vehicle from the North recently? Was on the Vrt calculator there and was wondering if the nox and vrt are a separate charge. Getting kinda confused.

What's the story with the new tb movement rules?

Le shovelle

Yeah, the nox is an additional charge

Youngsters in eire always had desire to leave the island shores.nothing new there. Yes traditionally it was lack of a job & money that helped them push off.what's the problem now? I doubt it's yet down to migration here.

Probably the cost of living & unable to buy a home, which is a poor reflection on successive governments.

Heads are more turned now though than before with online pics e.t.c of a good life abroad somewhere with weather & nice skin colours from lots of sun.

Maybe the youngsters of the past were the lucky ones with hindsight?

My Dad left Ireland in the late 50's, went to Montreal in Canada for a while, then down to New York. In his last three years there, he got married, had my oldest sister, never took a day off or a sick day. Came home on a cruise liner with his new family and enough money to buy the farm, and an old house which they did up. There are of course differences, but I think the non-specialist opportunities back there were way better than today's.

My great grandfather a Ballingeery man, left Ireland in the late 1800's, he returned as the century turned with his wife and they bought a farm in Kerry near to where she came from. It peculiar as my better half grandfather went to the US returned and bought a farm as well.

My great-grandmother emigrated to the USA sometime after the famine. She worked as a nanny for a family in New York. She returned to Ireland after a few years. We still have a broach that she owned.
