I have heard it from a lot of people but nothing official. Can anyone actually confirm that ladders were not long enough to fight the fire at the Metro Hotel in Ballymun the other night?
Anyone?

I’m curious but given the recent planning decision re: Rolling Stones at Croke Park, doesn’t this concert the Pope will be attending count as a 5th concert this year?
Anyone?
Gulp.

St Valentine at Whitefriars Street Carmelite Church, Aungier Street, Dublin 2

Do you not think it’s kind of ridiculous given that the relics of St Valentine are in Whitefriars on Aungier Street, the city doesn’t make a bigger deal of it internationally?
It’s a seriously good marketing opportunity which is being ignored. I couldn’t imagine the French, the Italians or the Americans letting that one go.
If it was down to me, I’d have flowers on every lamp post, and in every shop window from Aungier Street down to the bottom of George’s Street.
Sometimes I wonder is there any imagination(sophistication) in Ireland anymore?
I won’t start on the absence of a statue of Gulliver…
Anyone?

Am I alone in being mystified by this “seismic shift”?This was entirely predictable and simply reflects public opinion and the view of the Citizen’s Assembly.
More importantly, are we seriously going to believe Fianna Fáil, would have kept to any principles that might lose them votes in Dublin? Now that would be seismic.
Anyone?/Fight!

Even the idea of a bit of snow or rain in Ireland and this happens. 2 hours 40 minutes for a 50 minute journey yesterday, and today, the same happens! Maybe motorway driving should be on the driving test?
Anyone?

Quick one. Who decides whether we have a presidential election or not? And if it’s not the citizens who decide then why not?

I am renting in Dublin 8, I can’t afford to move. Basically, I’m convinced my bed has some bed bugs. I say this because I sometimes wake up with bites and because I have twice seen a small bug in my bed this week.
Is it possible to live side by side with bed bugs? I’m serious. Does anyone have any tips?
Anyone?

Hmm.
