If you can get their hands on it. A year or two ago Joe was singing its praises and complaining about lack of supply. In his last month or so he mentioned side effects and it was not suitable for everyone. Reading between the lines, it did not agree with him. In saying that, I have been told a brother in law is on it for weight loss and it is working.

Thankfully the Liveline thread is a moan-free zone.

"Voluntary parent contribution" €450...Did they name the west wing of the school after her ? 🤔

"you have to give them a float of a couple of hundred quid"

whaa?

zell12

This one needs to homeschool her kids

Dublin Calling

Paying a tenner a month. I still remember getting a letter complaining I had not paid the 'Voluntary Contribution', when I had.

A thousand for the school trip, now it is 2 thousand for transition years trip she says.

Well there's a grand or more that could be saved on the Italy/France/Spain school trip- what happened to day trips around the country

Pencil, paper and the threat of a kick up the hole.

That's all you need.

Half of the things she's bringing up where they have new costs for trips etc, it could be the student forgetting to tell the mam until the night before.

a friend said he was thinking of taking it, and I would consider him far from overweight. Another thing maybe getting out of hand

A Branded School, so to speak.

Misses my chisliers had handed down uniforms, which then went to their younger cousins.

zell12

Were pens and pencils on the promo?

The Oasis look very in vogue this school term:

McDermotX

a canada goose school coat

Dublin Calling

Missus, I would like to see where your uniform list says they have to wear Dubarry deck shoes.

Busi_Girl08

Ok so if a kid goes to school in the depths of winter wearing a "non-branded" coat, is the teacher going to take it off them?

Would love to see their statement responding to the Indo/Irish Mirror articles blasting them for leaving kids go cold.

I would call the school's bluff on that, to be honest.

stop making multi millionaires out of 2 and 3 star hotel owners of the country, and put that money towards the schools ? (and health care)
