The Journal gives more context: In the initial tribunal of inquiry in 1981, the cause of the fire was deemed to be unknown but that it was likely to have been started deliberately. This presumption was heavily disputed but it was not until 2009 that a tribunal rejected it and had the finding of...

The State failed to investigate the fire properly first time around, seems to be the general consensus. The verdict delivered recently, should have been delivered 40 years ago & had it been done then more timely \ appropriate consequences could have been enforced on those culpable. Hard to say...

The one day of the year people had to show a bit of forward planning or ingenuity to get a drink - ferry trips, greyhound racing etc - gone :(

2003 "Happy Hour" banned in pubs. 1997 Poitin legalised (or some version of it at least)

Working from home has \ will impact it. Also the moving out of work from the city centre to business parks. If you are working in town or close to it, would be spending a lot more on lunches, dinners in the area.

I was stopped once coming back from the States, but was ok on the limit, haven't chanced it subsequent to that.

What happens if you are over the limit and stopped by customs? Do you need to pay duty then on the lot?

Seems like those who were on that plan for long time have now been given a reason to overcome the inertia, and in many cases leave VHI. Is it a move by VHI to try to shed some older customers? Or am I being too cynical and it is a move in the right direction re: simplification of plans.

This is a side by side comparison of the two plans from the HIA site. There are more\higher excesses on Simplicity, for in patient and everyday medical expenses. Knee replacement would count as an existing condition, so for any upgrade in cover, waiting periods may apply...

Some recent deaths. Joe Kinnear, Republic of Ireland soccer international and manager of Wimbledon in the early Premier League era. He passed away aged 77 due to complications from previous strokes. And just announced that OJ Simpson has died at the age of 76 from cancer.

Yes, they're not for everyone. Not ridiculous per se, but it would be ridiculous for some people to buy them.

And this was one of the ways the Russians \ communists went about securing their tyranny over Poland... and no doubt Russia has similar plans for Ukraine if it falls. And others if it gets to them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre

I wonder if the 24th being the big day now there is a way of distancing it from pagan times: Dew Holiday or Rasos in Lithuanian is another name for Midsummer Day festival, usually frequented by those who are focused on preserving the authentic Baltic pagan traditions. Every year these “last...

I'd question whether they are a Lithuanian who in a sporting contest between Russia & Lithuania, supports Russia...

The Soviet system was setup to plunder Eastern Europe in the sense of directing its economic output to serve its ends - including so called Warsaw Pact and so called Soviet republics which were just colonies of Russia. We can see that Russia was plundering Poland etc by the collapse in Russian...

Were they higher than in the Europeanized parts of Russia? Russia is a vast country. The Soviet system was setup to plunder Eastern Europe in the sense of directing its economic output to serve its ends - including so called Warsaw Pact and so called Soviet republics which were just colonies of...

And let's not forget what Russia did with that 'peace' in Poland. They plundered Eastern Europe as a colony and manpower pool with which to threaten Western Europe and the world. That is Russia's plan for Ukraine too. Look at how it conscripted those in the annexed regions to send as cannon...

I hadn't experienced it when I was using Pure Pharmacy. Am now with Lloyds on DPS scheme and not something I see them pushing in my branch. I remember reading media articles about it, maybe they have toned it down since then.

I'd imagine EU will have its hands full with the cost of the war in Ukraine, and then hopefully at some point rebuilding and getting Ukraine EU ready ... that'll be a much higher priority than NI.

Seems relevant here: A UNITED IRELAND would cost €20 billion every year for 20 years according to a new research paper by the Institute of International and European Affairs think-tank... The researchers suggest that there would be a “dramatic increase” in taxation of around 25% across the...
