Dalkey is lovely, i used live there for a few years, but couldn't afford to buy a house there. Great to see Flann O'Brien in the comments - an under appreciated genius

Yeah, it's great stuff - you can drink skips of the stuff and no hangover - well me 20 years ago could! I've great memories of sitting around on those tiny stools with friends - such a different drinking experience from home in Ir

Sometimes when I read things like this I despair - AI could be game changing, targetting complex issues around health, genetics etc. Instead its deployed mainly in the continued transfer of wealth from the ordinary man to the billionaire cl

I work in the same building as Pintrest - they have prime real estate in the centre of Dublin, with an office that looks to be tricked out to the max - and sometimes I see some people in there, but nowhere near the numbers the space can acc

I adore Money and London Fields. The zone of interest is a masterpiece. The man was one of the most consistently creative and interesting writers we've seen. I'd also wager he would be good fun to go on a pinting session with

That's a pity, sacrificing quality and end user experience to squeeze another dollar out of the system. Reminds me of Cadbury chocolate, when I was a kid it was incredible - a real treat. Now it's waxy mush full of palm oil, all t

Not sure if it's an issue localised to Ireland, but I've avoided Starbucks since I started seriously drinking coffee - not because of the price, but any cup I've had (and they're more akin to buckets) has had that bitter

I find that subject facinating - can you recommend any resources or literature on this? I'm not religious, but I find relegion facinating!

Love that season of the Wire. I'm from rural Ireland and there is a body of water near my home that is a suicide hotspot - 2 towns on the same river have given their share of young men to it unfortunately.

An absolute wordsmith, 'a pair of brown eyes' is as close to a perfect song. Novels of thousands of pages haven't told a story as deeply as that song. His version of the Band played waltzing Matilda is one of the most moving

I’m from rural Ireland, and I always remember my first roundabout - I used go driving with my dad when learning, and as the weeks progressed I’d get closer and closer to Killarney which was the nearest town. Coming from our side the first t

I started this last night and quickly lashed through 2 episodes - really enjoying it. Very it's got a good Succession horror vibe to it.

I love that Roy Keane has 5% of these entries. Saipan was nearly the beginning of a civil war in this country!

Same in Ireland, some high profile cases were prosecuted- but not the majority, and nothing happened the nuns - especially the evil that ran the mother and baby homes. 300+ babies discarded in a septic tank.

I think his last sentence doesn't go far enough - I'm not sure how far I'd need to go to describe someone who covered up systemic child abuse on a global scale

I'm from Kerry and it makes me so proud to hear everyone praising Kerrygold. It really is an incredible product. My grandfather worked all his life with Kerry Co-Op which was Kerry group started as. I'll bet when he was driving th

Saw them years ago at a festival in Ireland, they were due on before the Stereophonics - thankfully for everyone, including the stereophonics, they were delayed at customs and ended up closing the night. Utterly insane gig, they were absolu

If true, I find the 'print out the code you wrote in the last 30-60 days' very grim and a very blunt tool for evaluating productivity.
