Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

Finally the research has been published to prove that wild cat (Felis silvestris) lived in Ireland 5,500 years ago. Many claims over the years but the backup genetics was needed and a good number of bones have been recovered to provide enough material www.rte.ie/news/munster...
Wildcat bones found in Co Clare dated to 5,500 years ago
The first directly dated wildcat bones found in Ireland have been identified, confirming that the species inhabited the island more than 5,500 years ago.

Look those of us who were here early on bluesky weren't gealgorie. We did what we could with our broken Irish to create a tag to bring Irish people together.
Having those who are fluent decry those best efforts, when they came a lot later, is disheartening. #Speirgorm

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.
I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

RTE finally had a barrister on this morning who confirmed that barristers are 1) required to take clients in their area of expertise and 2) have a duty of confidentiality and shouldn't talk about their own cases.
FG is undermining the rule of law with their attacks.

Every year, thousands of visitors take a trip to Tipp to see the iconic Rock of Cashel. Then, after their visit, they hop back into their cars or coaches and head straight off on the motorway, passing wonders all along the way.

Autumnal vibes at Tollymore
The beautiful Barbican Gate at the entrance to Tollymore Forest Park, Bryansford, Co. Down.
Set at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and along the Shimna River, with its historic bridges and rich woodland, this area is truly a feast for the eyes.
