Wow.
I just checked my notes...
Professional fireworks are as loud as 175 dB!

Yes, new research among ex-military reported in the New York Times showed that exposure to loud noises, even when unrelated to actual combat, damaged internal organs and left micro-striations in the brain associated with a dramatic decline in cognitive functioning and mental health.

Thanks Ani. I didn't know that. It's ridiculous. That fireworks should be legal at that level of dB.

Agreed, though professional-grade fireworks are even louder (up to 150 dB), equivalent to actual military artillery. How many people using and watching these wear ear protection? Even so, the shock waves cause permanent physical damage. There's simply no safe level of exposure to noise above 100 dB.

I feel very much the same.

Fucking twats… I’ve voted Labour all my life but never again!

An-fíor, cinnte.

An gcreidim í? 🤔

Tá daoine tar éis bheith chomh cineálta agus ag tabhairt ugach dom, tá’s agam go mbeidh mé á foghlaim ar feadh i bhfad agus glacaim leis go ndéanfaidh mé botúin.

How to kill the Gaeltacht. This is appalling.

Ah, OK. Thanks Darach. That's a shame. 😕

What does she think that she is achieving through this empty gesture?

😂

Good point Eimear. Thank you. 🙏

AND if considered two words (Spéir ghorm) then the second is lenited anyway as an adjective following a feminine noun

Thank you for the further explanation. 🙏

Just to add that #SpéirGhorm is also correct even when you take ‘spéir’ and ‘gorm’ as two separate words - this is because ‘spéir’ is feminine and so adds a h to the following adjective;

(a) blue sky - spéir ghorm
(a) red sky - spéir dhearg
(a) black sky - spéir dhubh
