One of the boys just sent this here onto me, dragged the cunt of a thing into lidl 🤣 €58 euro back off it

Not the usual kind of post here but I just wanted to highlight a positive story about the guards as we don’t see too many of them these days -

I work in healthcare and recently we had a patient brought in by ambulance having had a heart attack in the community and we attempted to resuscitate him sadly unsuccessfully and he passed away very suddenly -

I went to speak with the family and realised there was a Garda sitting with them holding their hands and it turned out the guards had escorted the family to the hospital behind the ambulance and sat with them throughout their ordeal with such kindness -

It transpired another member of this persons immediate family was elsewhere in the country and was planning to drive to the hospital, and the guards sent a car to pick the family member up and escort them to the hospital also -

I just feel the guards get a bad rep sometimes and lack of presence in the community is a big concern for people, but I thought it was a lovely use of community policing and wanted to highlight the good they’re doing in the community as they’re so often under appreciated

The next time you’re in a shop or have an encounter with a stranger watch out for this. Honestly find it so warming.

With Ronan Keating. Jesus fucking wept. Absolutely wretched shite

Lets hope they qualify with a good performance here!

Any suggestions on what would be a good country to move to? Myself and the misus have been saving for a house but the prices keep going up. It's way too expensive to love here

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this position today but after the election results started looking likely FF/FG yet again, I sat in my tiny, mouldy, overpriced room and cried.

I am 30F, renting in Dublin and am so filled with despair and anxiety at what the future has in store for me for the next 5 years and beyond.

I feel that the social contract is so broken in this country, particularly for young people. I grew up my whole life being told that if I did well in school, got a good education, and then a good job that at this age, I would be at least able to afford to live alone, or at least save for a deposit on an apartment. I am finally realising that I will never own a home, and I will probably be housesharing into my forties. Like all my friends, I have a great education, and a decent job, but house prices and rent mean that I would be needing to earn at least three times my current income to ever be able to get even a modest apartment in Dublin, where I work.

Over my twenties, I worked so so hard (like most people) to give myself the best shot at a modest life like my parents had and it's impossible. Young people have upheld our side of the bargain, so why have most of my friends been forced into emmigration? I feel like a failure.

I'm seriously considering leaving, but with older parents it's not really possible to go all the way to Australia in case something happens. I can't move home, unless I quit my job and go on the dole. I'm sick of living with anxiety caused by housing. Every day my housemates and I wonder if today is the day we'll get that eviction letter in the door because the landlords want to sell, and I'll be looking at moving in with yet more strangers, until that landlord decides to sell and the cycle begins again. I can't take it anymore. In case anyone asks, yes, I did vote, and so did my friends. Clearly in not enough numbers to change anything. And if anyone tells me to upskill or get a better job, please note that I have thought this through, and I can't afford any more education, nor do I have the skillset to get a vastly better paying job right now. The wage I am earning in my field is typical, if not slightly more than most people my age are earning. It's just not enough. Also I feel like the option of ever having children had been taken from me.

Anyone have any words of comfort or solidarity?

Anyone know if there’s anywhere in Cavan that has Murphys on draught?
