Housing was not mentioned enough during the campaign imo. It's still the main thing influencing my thoughts of leaving the country.

Cork South Central still has two seats to fill, Coveney should get it but it looks like Buttimer could lose out to SF.

This whole thing is boring now just give us a government already. A commenter on Slugger O'Toole suggested FF are eager as possible to reach a deal as they may not have the money to effectively campaign a second election.
Just an Internet commenter of course but it's still an interesting thought

The Drumcondra address is supposedly related to arms dealing. Doubt Bertie, for all his misgivings, is into that kind of business

It's been so long I can't remember the order of my voting slip.

Dumb question but can candidates who weren't In the first election present themselves for the next one (if it happens)?

Thought so. It wonder if the Soc Dems can get someone to represent in Cork South Central though tbh you can call that one with ease.
Of course the media will say I'm part of the problem by voting for them and not for a majority government :smith:

Lots of outrage at the census showing that 10% of the housing pool is apparently unoccupied. Interesting number but how many of those houses are in locations that people will accept to live, homeless or not?
If I'm jobless/housing list in Cork will a ghost estate down near Bantry improve my life?

I was looking at postgrad offers in humanities, for instance in Limerick: a cursus in History, a cursus in languages.

Edit; but really I'd love to study in an English speaking country and Ireland seems like a good choice.

I know some foreign folks who love studying in Limerick

The government is protesting very loudly about the evils of this to keep our American MNCs happy but they must be rubbing their hands gleefully in private. €13bn is what, a little under 10% of the national debt (or almost 25% of the bank bailout) wiped out in one-go?

Or one year of running the HSE

Referral bonuses are a thing in every multinational. I know Apple's call centre is the holy grail for many expats as it pays 26k in the door and the conditions are alright as long as you can put up with the odd people who work there (cultists).
