    Orange Order marching season

    A poster made reference to 'intolerance from northern ireland polluting the republic of ireland'. I was merely stating that this jurisdiction is already well polluted with racist intolerant attitudes.

    Is this the super tolerant Republic everyone's boasting about? http://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/irish-anti-immigrant-attitudes-growing-report-shows-1.1442460 [broken link removed]

    Orange Order marching season

    Wow. You should spend a day sitting near some of my work colleagues, they obviously didn't get your memo... Yes, I drive past an under construction Educate Together school every day, many more are needed.

    Right on! Funny how wanting a Catholic education for your children is only a problem in Norn Iron and Scotland. It doesn't seem to be an issue in the rest of the world.

    Orange Order marching season

    Because most normal people are more concerned with putting food on the table. Thats easier to do when you're part of the UK, and not a banana republic. By the way, a recent Belfast Telegraph poll had 48% of Catholics favouring a re-united Ireland within the next 20 years. I'm surprised it's...

    They got the go ahead did they? Just as well, because there's about 60 of them already.

    Are you really comparing the only 'contentious' AOH march, that has one single band and 50 participants, with what the OO get up to every year?

    Schoolchildren being attacked? Just like at Holy Cross? Which actually happened, attacks which were carried out by orangemen and their supporters, and isn't one of your made up little fantasies? Ah yeah, they're just as bad as each other alright.

    Orange Order marching season

    If it was the simple matter of a band marching along in silly costume playing happy music then of course no one would have a problem. But sure you all know that anyway. Much easier to sit from a distance and say 'they're both as bad as each other'.:rolleyes:

    Town vs Country Living - The Pros & Cons

    I live in a small isolated estate of about 40 houses in the country. My wife and I can't walk with our one year old near one end of the development because most of the time 5 or 6 dogs will surround us and bark. I swung a boot at one of them once when it got a bit too close to my daughter on her...

    Alternatives to Eircom Phonewatch

    You could have the alarm programmed so that it texts you instead of contacting a monitoring company if it goes off. You could download the manual for the alarm and try re-programming it yourself, or you could get an alarm expert to do it for you. I re-programmed mine myself, and now no more...

    Negative Equity - What is possibility of moving house?

    My Wife and I are with PTSB and our circumstances are much the same as yours, plus we have a baby daughter. Our outstanding mortgage amount is €217k, house worth €100k. They gave us approval in principle to sell the house and carry the negative equity. They approved us for a total of €300k, so...

    Creaking floorboards

    The creaking floorboards in our house are driving us mad and they seem to get worse with each day. You can't take a step anywhere upstairs without a creak. About a year ago I lifted the carpets and drilled extra screws and it seemed to remove some of them, but it's now worse than ever. Is...

    Dangerous driving

    The only one I can see on the thread is 'This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language.' We're not at the level of foul mouthed Ray D'Arcy yet, but it's a slippery slope! Fair play Betsy!:D

    RTE Primetime Investigation into creches

    There's a pre-school facility in a house in my estate. Before they had applied for (and were refused) planning permission they were already operating and had even been given HSE funding. Their initial planning refusal was based on the half finished house being unsuitable for the purpose. They...

    Footballs kicked into garden

    Whe I was 11 years old my fingers and hand required 19 stitches because of someone thinking it was a good idea to set glass in concrete on top of a wall. I still don't have feeling in part of my index finger, because the glass sliced through the tendon. The glass of course is hidden from view...
