My head is wrecked here trying to find a water leak. Originally we had a well supplying 3 houses and sheds in two places, with a few water taps added over the years. Water mains supply then came along the road and each house got their own supply, but taps left at the back of the houses.
Current setup is mains to house and then branches off in 2 directions at back of house. I'm nearly 2 weeks digging here and there, trying to find connections. Shut off one branch of tee, leak still there, yesterday found pipe before the tee joint. cut straight tru the pipe with the spade. Ideal as I added shut off valve there. Leak still there. can't believe it as convinced it was somewhere around the farm. No sign of water coming up anywhere. What were the old generation thinking? Put down pipes and didn't even bother to record their location. My brother ran piping here years ago and I made him record the exact location of the fittings. All measured off walls of houses etc. I found some of them, no bother.
I want to get the well up and running for the farm again, so killing 2 birds with one stone by doing all this. I have to find the run of an electrical cable underground too. That will be fun.
No it’s not to early as long as what your spraying has plenty leaf on it
You could be right, I was just thinking that being sentenced to 5 years (reduced to 3.5 and then ran concurrently to 2) and escaping custody seemed to be a close shave.
The Healy Rae lads get suspended sentences as well, only 8 months in their cases but they had the nerve to appeal them after previously undertaking to accept whatever sentences were issued.
I'm not well up on the average cases either tbh, but looking a up a few, suspended sentences seem to be the norm, although most are of shorter duration and following guilty pleas.
Here’s an idea for folks with a ragworth problem, throw a party 🎉
People saying he got of light but does anyone really know what sentence an unknown 19 year old, first offence, get for similar crime? There must be loads of these type of altercations outside nightclubs down the years. You would imagine a judge would be aware people would be looking closely at sentence imposed. ( seems light to me too but honestly don't know )
Is it too early to speak off grass with roundup?
The West Limerick player/organised crime family link is BS. There's only 1 West Limerick player on the squad, 2 at stretch, and that definitely doesn't apply to either of them.
Hayes got off light, but it seems to be par for the course over the years for sports stars. A similar Diarmaid Connolly incident didn't even reach court iirc.
I know the full details of this so maybe get your facts correct b4 you post.
That's actually a true story.
The clare times is only a fans page spouting ****. Yed fall for anything
This is a snippet of it,
When you have the captain of the national side standing up in court singing his praises it’s hard not to feel for the poor child and his mother.
We'll see will it be different for the brothers in his family....same story diff outcome no doubt
If he has those kind of connections and is an All-Ireland winner, it’s only a matter of time before FG ask him to join the party and run for election 😂
just read that story about the Munster player Eddie Halvey... my god a 7month suspended sentence and a 7 year driving ban for a guy who was as drunk as an ass while driving... as bad as Hayes incident is.. at least the guy beaten up recovered... and Hayes was 19 at the time... still young and stupid... Halvey should have been locked up for life... how a guy like him can walk around freely and face the people everyday after killing a young lad i dont know...
No one player is bigger than the team. No example to be setting to young players that you more or less get off for such behaviour.
It’s not what you know it’s who you know. From what I’ve been told there’s been plenty of work done in the background by who he knows too.
Kicking and jumping on someone’s head when they’re in the foetal position on the ground should be tried as attempted murder if you ask me.
A disgusting scumbag is all Hayes is and hopefully Limerick hurling do the right thing now and tell him his services are no longer required. It’s not as if they won’t be successful without him anyway.
Kiely played him while he was awaiting sentencing so I'd say he will play him again.
I wouldn’t put my money on him not playing again. The words of a mother who’s young son was killed by an ex Munster player come to mind.
But you don't understand he plays hurling, our native sport. He'll have to kill someone before he gets locked up. Will he ever play for Limerick again? He'll get booed if he does.
This is what OH calls him any time he sees him on the telly.
Held the view that he was very slippy.
Yea , a journalist that was with him in America said earlier in the week he wasn't himself over there so maybe there's something deeper.
Bad news for the metro if Michael mcdowell holds the balance of power or is anywhere involved in the govt.
Michael McDowell and Verona Murphy are tonight launching their independent alliance grouping nationwide in Enniscorthy in the Riverside hotel.
The whole thing was to capitalise on the referendum result and get the people out who would be traditional FG supporters in the southeast who are getting dissillusioned by south Dublin Green politics.
Now that Leo has stepped down. The wind has been taken out of Verona's sails somewhat that the government are not listening and oblivious to the people. I'd say only half the people that were thinking of going to the launch tonight will now turn up.
And he was a poor talker at that.
You'd wonder if there's a real reason for him going now? Or is it as innocent as the talking heads on RTE are suggesting?
I was just reading that. The law is different for our sports stars.
He should of got a few months alone for not pleading guilty and bringing the thing to trial, he's a proper scumbag, the story about the other incident with a high profile hurler is alot worse if that lad escapes a prison sentence it's a joke
Most of the Cabinet act as if they are long bored off the job, no passion, no work ethic, no interest but they like being Ministers and the profile etc.
