Lets get this straight, burrowing into a massive volcano ,and sticking nuclear waste into it is a good plan?. This is the only area in ireland which has had seismic activity in the last 40 years.

I stand corrected at traffic lights while you sit !.

..so that is why you ride a bike and the other person a Jag?.

Well two immediate possibilities come to mind. 1. The riot police will be safe in that corner of the empire. Or 2. After the tremendous victory of the Irish rugby team in beating the Welsh 60 point to O,Ireland retains the six nations and these riot police are needed to force the remaining...

There is another side to this equation, and as an outsider,it doesn't bother me. But if the UK opts to reduce and remove tariffs , where does it get the money to pay for the schools, army, unemployment assistance,MPs salaries?

KIM is doing what I would have done in his situation. He need only look at Gadaffi to see how trustworthy Western assurances are. The Kurds could equally give advice. A deterrence is only a deterrence when it exists.

As I wrote about 6 weeks ago,the EU will give as many clarifications and assurances that the guarantees relating to a border around the 6 counties is intended as a failsafe insurance, as requested . It is if regulatory divergence exceeds limits, that the insurance is required,and that is in UKs...

Whats a life?. And does it depend on brexit?

Automotive transport is a topic which does not actually interest me. Sad perhaps in a male, but there you are .

I cannot speak for your builders providers, but they would have no difficulty with those of Castorama in France. It is all a question of organisation

Putting down radio emitting cables for traffic lanes ..so called lossy cables is trivial.,and is common place in large manufacturing plants, Having messages sent by traffic lights ,equally simple, front radar detection old hat..I have it in my 8 year old Peugeot..and it is a boon when...

Tommie, I don't want to recycle old discredited tropes, but neither of those men were present at Burntollet Bridge,or when streets in Belfast were burned down, or when the events of Bloody Sunday occurred. There was no IRA is existence at those times. Moreover, not a single weapon appeared on...

Whatever you may wish to think, it was no foreign army. All home grown. The last time NI was attacked by a foreign army, they wore the blue grey of the Luftwaffe.

I think the question relates more to the newer practice of appending penalty points to the licence. Sending user data outside the EU will run foul of the newer data protection directives. It is only very recently that the computer systems in NI and RoI were aligned to allow the transfer of...

Ms Long of the Alliance Party ,one of the multiple NI political parties had a nice analogy today... "In short, our membership of the EU is a racehorse, which we are trading for the promise of a unicorn and so whatever donkey Theresa May brings home from Brussels will never and can never...

Tommie, What should be of more concern to both of us is the following report from the site Joe.ie . I have continually warned about complacency and how a bad Border arrangement would feed into this ... "Members of An Garda Síochána have carried out follow-up searches at a site in Omeath, County...

Bad bad news,and you are right to bring it up. The positive is that it is being detected and punished. Now where did the angel dust come from , and where were those cattle before being on that farm?. We have an all Ireland agri market at present. Before it was banned, there were cattle in...

The inclusion of Waterford did come as a surprise to me, but then remember that that it is part of the Golden Vale , or the richest agricultural land on the island or perhaps of these entire islands. Of course it excludes from consideration very small enclaves like the coastal areas of South...

To bring a raw graduate into "management ", is and was folly. I like many others cut our teeth in more technical roles,and then assumed or had responsibilities thrust upon us. A favoured ploy of ours was to have the formal interview and then invite the candidate to view the technical...

Taken from the Irish Times of today.... It illustrates,if anything were needed to do so,the folly of allowing the UK to dictate the fate of its regions. The figures for Scotland and NI say all that needs saying. "Residents of Cork, Limerick and Waterford are living in the third-richest...
