It's part of Putin's war with the West.
German right wing group have been shown to be getting money from the Kremlin and having their whole manifest written out by the Kremlin for the next 18 months.
Don't be surprised if there's someone killed yet.
The louder these groups shout and act means the more pain Putin's regime is feeling. It'll go till Putin is no more.
It's bad in fairness. They need to be caught abd severely dealt with.
They've managed to get sympathy for the most inept minister in history as well which is also unhelpful.
Wtf is wrong with people just heard of a bomb threat call on the minister for justice house. She wasn't home but her oh and kids were.
Ireland was referred to as Hibernia when Romans conquered Britain. The Anglo irish treaty of 1922 refers to officially the Articles of Agreement for a Treaty Between Great Britain and Ireland. Eire came into the mix by the FF government using irish postal stamps from the 1930s. Thus the British adopted it. From 1922 to the Dev government we were known as the Free State. The Republic of Ireland came about in 1938 by FG government.
Not sure when British Isles began or ended. British produced maps in the early years of the foundation of the state referred to the British Isles. I think WW2 changed that thinking.
Beautifully manicured eyebrows...
An hour ago in Nebraska.
anyone watch Leo o late late though he looked younger and more relaxed without the weight of the world on his shoulders
I should clarify that was their budget so probably included labour costs associated with staff working there and expenses for staying there etc
How in the name of all that is holy could you justify charging that
think o heard about €250k
I wonder what were glanbia paying for the stand
yea everything has a life cycle. The ploughing is on the way down. Smaller events like tullamore show which target the ag sector is way better. They should learn from the ploughing and not try make it too big and target everyone .
Pissing off their stand holders.
Dinosaur event now.
Took an event built it up. Then killed it off.
I see that Glanbia/Tirlan and Aldi are not going to be at the ploughing championships this year. I haven't been to the ploughing for the last 8 years and I doubt I missed much.
I’ve a Ukrainian student who’s at that at the moment- always fixing something and solving problems.
One of the kids needed a new bike, old one needs a lot of work. Saw an ad on donedeal €50 for a good sturdy bike locally. Was an old man who does bikes up in his spare time. A new bike would be alot more and in a couple of years wont be used anymore. He was saying alot of kids now can't ride a bike, never thought how to
I forget tbh, was on from 9.30-10.30 wednesday night.
Don't think I'd be recommending any of mine to go into it tbh. If we sent Dustin the turkey to the quota negotiations he'd have come back with a better deal for Irish boats!
Doesn’t the added tax not magic away the bad stuff and solve the problem?
Most refer to these lands as Britain and Ireland not the British Isles or "these islands" as used in a specific document. Anyway.
I object to use of the word Ireland to name this country.
Why should it be used when it's the Sasanachy's name for Eire. Eire is our original title as gaelige.
Eire became Eirelonde in the 16th century and then became Ireland.
However British pathe used the title Eire in their broadcasts and reels in the 1900's after independence to not cause offence and some eire people took offence with this and thought it should be Ireland.
When in fact the opposite is the case if there is to be any hope of a manageable degree of climate change.
If we can't transition towards a functioning sustainable transport system within these (little) islands (!) without aviation except for exceptional needs, the goose is cooked.
That sounds more like the Isle of Man. Why not say that Ireland is an island on the west of Europe?
I would say the use of "these islands" was a necessary fudge at the time, (obviously not an everyday term). I just showed it as one example to show the term British Isles is recognised as an obsolete and inappropriate term for Ireland and Irish people.
And yet here we are!
It’s mad the rabbit holes we go down and how discussions meander on here 😂
what was it called- I must show it to some of my students.
Both their parents and I are trying to get them to at least have a back up plan if anything happened the fishing industry.
They don’t even have value in the leaving because fishing will always be profitable.
All I’d wanted to say it should be easier for citizens of Ireland/Northern Ireland/Isle of Man/Wales/Scotland to fly between those countries!
You’ve hit the nail on the head. When talking among people who live on these islands and have skin in the game, “these islands” is apt. But if you want to simplify the geographic location for those who’ve never heard of Ireland on your international travels, then feel free to say Ireland is a little island to the west of Britain and therefore part of the British Isles.
This is hilariously funny - I googled Atlantic archipelago and got the attached.
Still digging.
If I were to go around telling people around the world about “these islands” you think they’d recognise that term? It’s applicable in reference to Northern Ireland due to political delicacies in writing the Good Friday agreement. That’s where it ends in reality.
it isn’t. The term was established long before any British rule.
An old Italian saying goes something like "Washing a donkeys head is a waste of water", it seems apt here.
I'll leave my last word to the position of our government on the term, which is good enough for me;
Maybe ye can found a political party or candidates to get involved with for the upcoming elections that might help you promote your viewpoint of Ireland's place in the world.
