I read recently that China an India are now taking massive amounts of cheaper Russian oil. So this should mean less demand from their usual suppliers, which will leave increased quantities for sale on world markets? Just a thought. As they say, its an ill wind that does not blow some good.
Located in Marron's Court. Are those business units in any way connected with Marron's Pharmacy?

Dublin registered van on Sky Deborah Haines report being used by the police travelling around documenting war crimes and retrieving bodies.
Grim task :-(
Exiled Russian reporter on Sky News saying 40% of Russians are suspicious of state media. They are beginning to see that something is terribly wrong.
No, but there is a mechanism for not voting in morons like Daly and Wallace in the first place.
125k people toddled down to their polling station and voted for them at the last election - sticking it to the man no doubt.
Bit late for Irish people to be getting all embarrassed about it now - these are the caliber of people that get elected by us.
It's a shameful embarrassment and a damming indictment of the general levels of intelligence amongst the electorate.
People have different approaches, values and beliefs to us.
Fúcking brilliant! 😂🤣
What's also insane is that there's been several positive reviews in the last 12 hours in a vain attempt to counter all the negative feedback. It'll die down eventually though and they will probably try getting a different google listing.
The de-tracked one should be repairable and back in action pretty soon.
Love this. Even better than blocking the scumbags off from their stolen “exclave” which is what I’d be sorely tempted to do
I get it alright. Pure ignorance and macho evil. Plenty like this scumbag out there unfortunately
I just dont get it. How could you, in a democratic Republic, actually support a madman who's army is murdering innocent men, women and children.
It's insane.
Maybe the Russians don't have to do a pincer movement CHBS? If they seem to have the bits in purple and can do the same to the bits in red, that would give putin his pecker extension exercise for the May great patriotic war parade. OK, clearly he wanted and expected more, Kyiv with puppet government over the whole nation, second prize being all things east of the Dnieper, third prize being the bits in red and purple above.
He could spin that BS to his brainwashed subjects as a "victory". If he can hold it he could put any talks on the long finger, as he gives two shíts about the Russian people suffering under sanctions and he's primed them for it for over a decade anyway. Ukraine would then need to go on the attack to win those areas back. They've been truly inspiring in defence, but without NATO I can't see them taking that much land back in attack. It could be a continuation of the dug in Donbass conflict that's raged since 2014 and Ukraine has lost a load of territory to a facist invader.
On the other hand, if this does play out this way, the EU must go into and help rebuild non Russian Ukraine. Get them on the road to EU membership. Never trust Russia again. Never lift the sanctions and I'd increase them as we wean ourselves off their blood soaked gas and oil and dirty money. And I never thought I's say this; close all Russian embassies with EU countries and close all ours in Russia and have a single one in Brussels and one in Moscow that covers all the EU.
It is rubbish really. Don't pay much attention to their (Daly & Wallace's) nonsense as would never vote for likes of them. Knew for a while about their suspect views on autocrats in general, esp. as regards the CCP (once they oppose and work to destroy the US & possibly the EU too, they are on the side of the angels + to be praised apparently). Herself and Wallace have surpassed themselves during this war in being useful to Russia. I really want to see OLAF get stuck into their affairs and hope there is something there to hang them (petty I suppose, but...?!).
The reviews are on fire here- I guess the benefits of our liberal democracy do work both ways some times. He’ll regret this in his pocket, Clane and even Ireland are very small places, word spreads like wildfire
We all know how to contact Clare Daly and Mick Wallace. So email or write to them or phone them if you can and tell them just how far off the f***ing radar they are in terms of the opinions of the people they represent. Is there a mechanism for removing elected MEPs?
Even the USSR flag. Pretty much Putin agents one and all.
The practicality of it as you say is that there are far poorer EU countries doing more and taking in more than us.
Mostly because they'e literally next door to this disaster, and yes it'll hit them even harder.
In your analogy the cold light of the next day you'd still have done the right thing and be working to get your neighbour back on their feet.
I doubt you'd be on your deathbed worrying about the time you helped them out. You could rest easy that you did .
Which is all warm and gooey, but that's mostly what it is. How do you get your neighbours back on their feet if you don't have the room and money's already tight for you? How's that work then?
The cynic in me thinks maybe we should have done an Irish version of what the Brits did; give them all the weapons in the Curragh, but only allow 2000 refugees in with visas and health checks, don't give them full social welfare and medical cards and give a few quid monthly to their hosts. Maybe send Coveney over for a photo op. Zelensky seems only too happy to give London the nod for doing that, even though the same London has been washing Russian dirty money for decades while the same Russian dirty money was bankrolling a load of thier politicians. Ireland gets a "could do better" from the same Zelensky.
It's all fine and well banging on about talking and resolving without violence, but what if one of the parties involved is intent on getting what they want by violent means only? Because, that's what's happening. Do we just let them steamroll through Eastern Europe and hope that our idealism of peace makes them change their way?
Me thinks a counter protest is in order!
They need to teach this in Agricultural College.
Real life skills
Headsup for anyone looking a mechanic to avoid in Clane.
Out of the fcuking country with ya!
Pro Putin protest on the M50. CNUTS.
Yup, I genuinely was on the way back to the thread to make that exact analogy. It's one further though, she's arguing from the position of someone watching a rape and berating the victim for not negotiating.
My dial spun so hard it came off and went through the ceiling. Although Wallace, the tax-cheating, pension-stealing, millionaire wine estate-owning 'socialist man of the people' annoys me even more. Hopefully he meets some real Ukrainians (ideally the Klitschko brothers) down a dark alley sometime.
It is ranting socialists like her who enabled Russia to become what it is today.
The crude analogy as to what she is implying is that if someone wants to rape you to not fight back, let it happen so as to not antagonise your attacker further.
That's how batshıt crazy that speech was.
In one of the replies on Twitter to one of the above links was this little gem.
Nonsense, as we are so often reminded around these parts, diversity is both a strength and blessing, the more new Irish we have brought in from dystopian shitholes that still owe their allegiance to said shithole, the more enriched we shall be. Just wait till it kicks off with the Chinese. Fun times ahead.
Back in reality, these fuckers should be hauled in and told they're now deported then chucked over the wall of the Russian embassy for their own government to mind. Just imagine, the likes of shatter and mcentee probably handed some of the ****s Irish passports after they collected a few weetabix tokens.
