It's on North Earl Street, right next to Joyce. It'd be funny if they put it on Talbot St. though seeing as that's where those kids kicked that yank's head in last year

Funding from the US probably.
Enoch still gets paid for being a teacher, as the dispute is still technically ongoing.
And suing people. The smug smile on the sister knowing they can now sue whoever was jostling her.

As for the portal, they should set it up so that it shows Dublin (and New York) 6/12 months difference.
So you could wave at the portal and then come see yourself in 6/12 months time.

A webcam and monitor? Now that's art!

Well, it's not really art. Certainly not good art. It's pure marketing. DCC knew exactly what would happen (as did the artist, despite his please for people "to be nice.") They knew full well people would act the bollocks and it would generate headlines worldwide. Now you've got Dublin in the worldwide media and a load of fuckers who think Ireland is "gas." Which they'll learn is a term here when they visit and buy a ten quid pint in Temple Bar.

Which is what I guess makes it "real art." "Real art" (the top level) is pure marketing.

Well it's a Lithuanian artist and they already did one of these between Lithuania and Poland IIRC and I think people acted more normal.

But yeah, it's not a big deal, just let the people do their thing and it'll all even out

If Eurotrash and other lovely late-night TV on Bravo in the late 90s has taught me anything it's that Poland is way less bothered by public nudity than Ireland is.

Not sure these are the most reliable sources, but I can't be arsed to check.

It's easy to see where the politics lie too. "Standing up for Ireland" on campaigning material. Less dogwhistle, more feeding the dog treats from the table. And not even under the tablecloth.

The "centrists" are blaming all the woke lefties for these current political events and not taking an ounce of blame for themselves. And it's not the politicians or parties. It's some of their voters. It's a weird situation where I have more trust in a lot of the politicians, who've genuinely tried to walk a line (and have done it incredibly, on a for once fully global stage, with Palestine. Across every normal party (looking at you indepedents.)) Apart from the true nutjobs every party tried to do at least something, for everyone. It often wasn't enough but it wasn't nothing, like what happens in a lot of countries. Their voters didn't want to give away a thing. Now the thugs are out on the streets the voters are decrying them but saying they have some valid points. It's not that the mask is off it's the facepaint is melting.

I suppose these brain geniuses will be proven right in the long run. All society's problems will eventually traced back to NUIG having a class on Gender Studies for thirty 3rd year sociology students. If only we could have seen where that would lead us to, and listened to the objectors from the start. If only we'd banned blue hair dye when we had the chance!

Last time a western power recognised Palestine we got some choice words from the Israeli ministry (this history of our country is more complicated than flat pack furniture, or something along those lines, the prick!) so I wonder what ignorant line we'll get.

The Israeli ambassador leaving Ireland had something interesting to say on RTE News:

"I will be heading back to Israel to discuss some matters. We thought that Ireland would be ideal for Internet Security, Medical jobs, but this decision today, we might have to discuss it"

I tried my best to remember exactly what she said, but if it reads like a loving mobster saying what lovely hands you got, it would be a shame if they got fed into a wood chipper, it's because it came off as that. She just sneered about a country recognising Palestine like she was taking her ball home.

[Edit]: Went searching for the interview and found that the Gov. will be means testing Refugee payments where if they are earning more than €125 a week, they won't receive the €38.80 (in accommodation) or €119 (outside accommodation) payments... Didn't need my blood boiling that much this morning.
