"Four and a half years of our lives have been taken from us"

Proper Order.

You can't have dogs teaching cats.

The definition of Rough.

If it looks bad you'll draw attention to yourself.

Her parents are creating a great stink

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!

^ Paragraphs would help.

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.

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.

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

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?

Suppose to be coming into force next Wednesday the 1st of Feb. Remember at the moment it is only applicable to cows and males over 36 months moving farm to farm. Edit to add or through marts.

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.

You don't have to go back so far for examples. I've 2 friends who went differing routes to making a fortune. One went to Canada and worked as an electrician over there with no experience in that field. Managed to get a job, trained up and was certified by time he left after 3 years. Was sending all the spare money home to his wife who used it to rebuild and restore an old cottage for them to live in. It was nearly finished by tme he came back. Works now in Intel and mortgage free. A cousin went to Canada and drove a digger in an open mine. Worked 7 days a week, every hour possible from February to November. Did it for 3 years. Bought a run down cottage here after 1, did it up and then sold it after he returned on year 3. Doubled his money on it. That money and the massive $$$s he was getting (free food and accomodation where he was) he used then to buy a ghost estate with houses at 20k a pop. 25 houses in it. Selling them now for 300k and he has only 9 left to do up. He's a bit mad and is going back to Canada this year for another 10 months as he misses driving the digger!
