Piardi isn't at fault here.
It's all the complicated rules.
What do people think he should do? Read them? Remember them? How unreasonable!

Subscribed to URC as they claim I can stream from a browser and cast to TV. Cast function not working. Support useless. Now I discover 8/18 Munster games won't be live on it... Begining to just lose interest I won't pay a second subscription.

Why is the URC always so hard to watch?... It's like they actively want people to give up. Their new app isn't compatible with any device I have... The explanation on the website is woeful and as best I can tell I'd have to buy a new TV to subscribe.... Big brain business people

Sky Ireland customer service has really gone in the toilet. Poor management? Intentional sludge? I remember when their CS was the absolute peak

English as a subject in Ireland
An interim issue between Fortnightlies 188 and 189 (coming on Saturday), and a rare Monday appearance, for teachers in Ireland who are looking for some exciting beach-reading after term.

Absolute joke of a Junior Cycle English paper today. I can only imagine the SEC rubbing their hands together and cackling "Gotcha!" again.
What a great parter in education they are.
What a sense of a capacity for success they have developed in students and teachers.

Irish Department of Education and NCCA need to wake up. Leaving Certificate reform is being jammed through at the worst possible time in the worst possible way and they refuse to pause and reflect.

This verve needs to be matched in funding. Reductions in class sizes, increases in SNA numbers and massive infrastructure investment. You can't have a class without a classroom.
Anything less isn't solving the problem. It's shoving them into a room and closing the door.

Attempted to book a Cork-Dublin train for two different days. Defeated and discouraged by price and availability. I cannot fathom a reason not to add extra carriages services that are close to capacity, other than a surge pricing policy when you have a "1st class" option.

No way. I'm sorry. Beirne, Lowe, Gibson-Park all contenders for player of the match. Prendergast is being allowed to grow but there's no question this 6 nations is being treated as a development year. He's grand but made too many mistakes for me.

Just saw the prescribed material for Drama, Film and Theatre Studies. Absolutely does not inspire any interest in teaching it. There's such little choice and it's set like this for a full 3 years. On top of a waffle laden specification, the whole thing is very disappointing.
