That sounds brilliant.

(My) Aoife was born during Italia 90 and the stories that her family tells about her birth always talk about the Cameroon vs. Colombia match on her birth day and the Irish Italia 90 experience.

Ha! You can add that to your list of interests for UGD students and DA applicants next year - although I doubt there would be much interest among the Gen Z group for that very niche topic.

Hmmmm maybe it had to do with Mary Robinson being the *first* female President?

I also had mostly female teachers in primary school - if gender had any bearing on the no homework decision?

We might also have just been lucky!

Qualitative research isn't a consolation prize for when we can't get 'real' numbers. It's a different way of knowing; one that captures complexity, context, and meaning that statistics alone cannot provide.

Still a classic record too!

I had others before that cassette (I think a Roy Orbison Greatest Hits), but Queen was the first one I remember buying myself.

I didn't buy records til a little later, and the first few I bought were terrible Eurotrance records that have not aged well!

Ged Nash says Tánaiste's comments last week were "the kind you'd hear from a misinformed bloke in the pub who gets his information from Facebook".

Wondering if I should bother correcting 'Awfully' to 'Offaly'.
