Disposable Income per capita by county in the State, published today. Not sure how Meath ends up lower than Monaghan.

Longford is poorest.

However, the general pattern indicates that Ireland is not too unequal, the distribution is not just a function of distance from the capital.

You aren't saying where; and you're claiming to buy products that don't exist. "about 3 years ago" could have been long out of date product some keg supplier was delighted to get shift of as it was beyond return date.

I believe you may have been sold a draught red ale in a Macardles glass and I believe you may think it was actually Macardles. But it wasn't.

You're the one getting angry about being told you didn't drink something you couldn't have drunk.

You got conned. Move on.

Where did you get the pint. I generally look out for red ales, and haven't een that one. Would try it if I could.

Estonians have to travel through Russia, crossing the border twice

Estonians can continue using the road through Saatse Boot without requiring a Russian visa, provided they do not travel on foot. The road can only be driven through (riding on a donkey’s back is allowed), and one cannot stop to pick mushrooms (there are a lot of wild mushrooms in Saatse Boot) or stop to take photographs.

Lutepää and Sesniki are situated about 1200m apart. The section of the road connecting this two villages through Saatse Boot is about 900m long. Until 2008, this was the only road available. That year, a new road was opened making it possible to reach the villages without passing through the Saatse Boot. But it’s a 15–20 km detour.. 

Map shows the GDP per capita across Europe just before WWII started.

Hyder, pop 60, easternmost spot in Alaska, can only be accessed by road from Stewart B.C. pop 500, 3km away.

Hyder gets its groceries, electricity, water, police, hospital, doctor, church, telephone area code, time zone, from Canada. And if the school pop falls <10 which it has, the school closes, US kids go to the Canadian school

Leave the poor cassowary alone. Cows are more dangerous.

Southern cassowaries have a reputation for being dangerous to humans and other animals, and are often regarded as aggressive. The birds can jump quite high and kick powerfully with their blade-like claws. However, deadly encounters with southern cassowaries are rare. Only two human deaths have been reported since 1900. A 2003 historical study of 221 southern cassowary attacks showed that 150 had been against humans: 75% of these had been from southern cassowaries that had been fed by people, 71% of the time the bird had chased or charged the victim, 15% of the time they kicked. Of the attacks, 73% involved the birds expecting or snatching food, 5% involved defending their natural food sources, 15% involved defending themselves from attack, and 7% involved defending their chicks or eggs. Only one human death was reported among those 150 attacks.

The first documented human death caused by a southern cassowary was on 6 April 1926. In Australia, 16-year-old Phillip McClean and his brother, age 13, came across a southern cassowary on their property and decided to try and kill it by striking it with clubs. The bird kicked the younger boy, who fell and ran away as his older brother struck the bird. The older McClean then tripped and fell to the ground. While he was on the ground, the cassowary kicked him in the neck, opening a 1.25 cm (0.5 in) wound that may have severed his jugular vein. The boy died of his injuries shortly thereafter.

Another human death due to a southern cassowary was recorded in Florida, United States on 12 April 2019. The bird's owner, a 75-year-old man who had raised the animal, was apparently clawed to death after he fell to the ground. (Wikipedia)

Working with livestock is responsible for 39 farm workplace deaths on Irish farms in the last 10 years. During this period 7 deaths were caused by an attack by a bull, 22 by cows and heifers and 5 were associated with cattle. 20 Jul 2020 (Teagasc).
