Yeah, this is far far from over. They would have been better to dump the lot, wide open. We'd have 6 months of drama, and forgotten by the mid-terms. Now this will grind along with bits dribbling out, and file dumps being found. And victims hitting the courts as documents evidence their cases.

A form of this has been going on since travel in the jump seat to the Cote d'Azur became a thing in the 1920s.
What's different over the last 30 years, it become industrial.

Yes, rather thin on proximate details. 250 words with stylistic hints of early medieval historiography. :-)

I would argue yes. Rome was arrogantly assuming that what was going on in England was unimportant. And it had bigger fish to fry.

You'd have thought this would be an ideal temporary insanity defence.

I'm amazed they aren't doing all that now.

Same thing off the Horn of Africa or the Strait of Hormuz and we'd be using a different verb.

I rather like the first one. Its a rather decent nod to Greece. I would have been the forth. A terrace of houses with black doors is quite impressive. Now the 1st, for the elegant cut.

Is it that the minister is making an assessment 'AON' less cumbersome without putting in place the funds needed in schools for those assessed with the need. But that's me parsing.

Certain sections in Ireland are very keen on deploy to a Euro Army, but they offer little added value, directly. But should we join our air and sea space will become covered. Now that cover is very loose.
A lot of 3rd rate funds saw Russia in gold rush terms until Ukraine. They are quieter now.

The problem is European security can't depend on an on again-off again switch every four years. Indeed they were rather stupid to lower their defence posture over the last few decades.

Back in the day you'd find ancient issues of the National Geographic, Time, The Economist and Readers Digest. Now its piped generic muzak or a telly with Practice ad's for whitening kindly delivered by Joan, Botox via Emily or for an extra mortgage, Vin Diesel rims.

I thought we should have done alternative energy since the 90's. But what's going on now is incompetent. Where like in Ireland we have turbines unconnected to the grid, because they haven't upgraded that grid to take the output. Eventually they will of course. But still pretty incompetent.

Its removal might be valid had it been named for the current president, but it's his father.

It's tax changes. so elderly people don't perceive huge losses to the revenue between capital gains and inheritance in a relatively short period.

Never heard that station. I listen to the 11-12 Sunday slot on RTE1 more out of respect to Marian Finucane than any grá for O'Connor. But that's my limit. The ENDLESS ad's, even the for profit doesn't that that level of p*&&.

In Belgium my ex's father developed fast advancing ALS. A staunch Catholic, Belgian Special Regiment, business in Knokke. But he used the facility. He nearly missed the window so fast was the ALS development. You'd get on with him, he was big into his wine.

There will be problems, but it's better that foreseeable issues are addressed. I think it will be enacted, eventually. But if it takes 10 years that is better than endless court cases. The result of sloppy Law.

A bit confusing. Is the 35 acres going as well as the building in the village. Or just the building and the acre of garden.

There is no doubt that Burke &co have issues. But the Judiciary are trying to address them with Common Law as existing in Ireland. So Money or Violence. But they don't fit to either. The School could have fired him, and the answer would be Money.

We went up last year from Callan. And I forgot my screen glasses, I only had my driving ones. Bereft; that is the best word for me. Last time I was in, I didn't need two sets of glasses. :-)

The problem is Review & Comparison sites are worse. Most have click out links to selling sites. At least with Mary down the lann, a semi real person and might actually have bought the thing.
