How things have changed in the couple of months since i posted this. Still not qualified but they have gave themselves a huge chance. Hats off to the management and players for an incredible and unbelievable comeback from the depths of despair.
Irish soccer team will not qualify for the World cup, and for that we should be thankful. Embarrassing shambles. The FAI, management, and players, should hang their heads.

I have obtained a copy of the Flood Advisory issued by Met Éireann to local authorities today showing an orange level flood risk for many parts of East and South. I cannot see why it is not made public as I believe it is in the public interest to share it so I am sharing it.

I'll miss Miggledy. He's been an outstanding president with his warmth and empathy for those less well off, the oppressed, and those facing discrimination and battling for equality. However, i'm sure Catherine Connolly will continue his great work and be another formidable Uachtarán.

Despite all the horrors that people remember today, leaders, including those who bow their heads lowest at Cenotaphs, push for ever more armaments, rattle their sabres ever more loudly, and hurtle us towards global conflict.

My Gt grandfather was killed at Colenso, South Africa. A great uncle died at Galipoli.
My maternal grandfather was royal navy in WW1, and on merchant convoys in WW2. An uncle fought with the American 1st division at Omaha, another was with the Austrailian navy. I dont need a poppy to remember them.

As people observe their remembrance Sunday today, it would do well to also remember fascism didn't end in 1940s. It continued in Europe well into the latter decades of the 20th century.
Sadly, and worryingly, it's raising its head again, including in those countries who sacrificed much to defeat it.
