... but Cllr Collins M has warned everyone ("even Pat Daly") that they won't be allowed to blather on.

Highly amused by the lads scribbling on their #Aras25 ballots to spoil them and then posting them on The Internet so that someone will actually see them.
I scrawled this myself a month ago on The Internet.
Well, I’m off to vote, so I am. Thanks for the extra power, folks.

Mark Esper’s 2022 book claimed that Trump wanted to have the person who leaked that he hid in the bomb shelter under the East Wing tried for treason and executed.

Yeah, they'll write a letter.
Kieran O'Hanlon wants a letter written to the Minister, but they'll be writing to the operators.

They'll be approving arts funding under the strategic fund later (10% of arts council awards to a limit of €5k). They'll zip through it, so here it is in advance.

I'd forgotten how much more convenient it is to watch a council meeting at home. You can hear 90% of it at home. The main cavernous Limerick council chamber results in having to strain to hear people in the room from the gallery and you'll hear almost nothing of the online folks.

Finally drinking that can of cider that has lived in the fridge for six or seven years.
It’s lovely, so it is.
Checked the bottom: BBE June 2020. This is the third fridge it’s lived in.
