This fella also writes articles for The Lamp such as "Why does anyone go to Mass?" Apparently one reason; it is simply "what one does, like voting in presidential elections" 🙄 He's a plant I'd say only it'd bean insult to plants 🪴

Each student needs to do so many of each procedure so they need folks with poor teeth. My student could do lots in my mouth and used me for her end of year presentation.... she was really excellent and sound. That was a few years ago but give it a shot!

I snapped a tooth next to front one, had a temporary plate from my dentist. Needed a bridge or implant.... all way to expensive. Showed up at Cork dental hospital. Said it was sore and ended up with a bridge for 700 euro (that's cheap) and other work that was needed done...

You can go now. You could have gone to dental hospital last month. Pain is relative. Hope it all works out. I've had loads of work done in dental hospitals - Dublin, Cork and San Francisco Takes a bit longer but the quality is generally very good

I suppose I am trying to be helpful. Just perception of how US is seen from abroad can be useful. I wonder if Democrats are to win, they may need a different candidate 🤷‍♀️ Personally I vote Green so no skin in this game

In fairness, that's the job. Objectively, from Europe they both looked terrible. Really. Biden is too old, Trump is a delusional liar. However the latter has an army of followers that believe him. Get ready for 4 years of madness 😢😭

Notwithstanding the embedded energy in 2nd vehicles. I currently run a 20 year old diesel that does 4.6 L to 100km (about 51mpg) so costs me €7.82 to do 100km. Am I entirely happy? no but it is the most efficient and "green" transport solution that I can afford. But I am saving for one

I'm in Ireland off the grid but still have no EV. For some folk, until affordable secondhand EVs are available, it's not possible. 15,000 vs 1,000 euro to buy... the running cost might be "a fraction" but which one 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 of the cost of fossil fuels.... its the initial investment stops many

Just what I came here to say. Honestly it's heartbreaking to watch from Ireland. I've spent most of my reproductive life trying to get abortion rights in Ireland. Finally we repealed the 8th in 2018. And now there are women in the US in the situation that irish women were Up is down Black is white

I'd say both are wrong Starmer because he doesn't do enough to stop the climate crisis Just Stop Oil because they don't go fair enough to stop the climate crisis None of this will matter in 2050

Also agree Karl! Diversity in jobs in rural areas is key. None of this can be done without transition
Approaches were starkly shown up in an interview at the Ploughing (yes I'm a culchie) with FG giving the usual 'head in the sand' approach and SD getting frustrated

Agreed. There should be no need for a dept of environment. It should be baked into every decision of every other department

Sorry don't mean to come across so rabid.... just watching all the climate predictions seen in models while in Uni in early 90s come to fruition now, makes for good days and bad days..... When it the effects on OUR food chain maybe we might do a little more

Trouble is that they treat environmental issues as an issue, as opposed to the crisis that it is. Very happy to see Rabharta and agreed about the good green policies of the other parties But its not their raison d'être is what I mean

If irish people really cared about environmental issues there would have been more than one party focused on these issues. There would be more GREEN parties.
