Did they cut any budget to greyhounds, horsey racing and the FAI?
An incredible victory for Simon.
Call the election.
They didnât want to call it while Mary-Lou was a little sick. But sheâs better now so I presume itâll be all systems go.
The parents of babies born in December will be eligible to receive the âŹ420 treble child benefit grant announced in the budget, Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys has said.
Ms Humphreys said she had been contacted in the past 24 hours by a lot of women whose babies are due in December and were worried their babies would be born too early for the grant.
They paid for the free pill last year and now theyâre paying for new babbies.
So stupid, theyâre on the phones because they are bored, the better idea would be to have them less bored. Engaged sorry.
Arenât these phone pouches a Norma Foley hobby horse & solo run? Poor Roderic OâGorman gets blamed for everything.

A soft issue and achievable objective to be seen to be doing something
She was over & back on it during the last school year & during the summer too. Many opposition politicians, teachers & parents fairly reasonably pointed out itâs really a society rather than a school issue (just ban phones in schools or stick them in a fucking locker, for example) & there are far more pressing/deserving areas in education where funding was needed - more teachers, SNAs, equipment etc etc.

They wonât have a little bag to pop it in when they are out in the world in college and in professional jobs. There is a moral purpose to prepare kids for the next phase after school.
Easy for any decent school to ban them during school hours. Leave it off and in your bag. If you are caught using it then a detention or whatever punishment the schools use these days now they canât beat kids.
I donât think that will work. Thereâll always be a few flouting it.
You take the phone off the first guy and you fucking smash his head open with it.
Job is oxo.

Treat the phone as a duster replacement. Chuck it at the next lad who steps out of line.
Or put it in a locker
Id agree with thst, a non issue created by one incompetent minister while another incompetent minister gets the brunt of it, while there is issues in his portfolio that is more pressing and costing the state more
