The words are relatively clear, the statements from the eu side are that we cannot yet report sufficient progress to recommend moving to phase 2. Beyond that I have no further information. As an example there is a lengthy article on the rte website... RTE is the irish equivalent to...

With respect to Mr Davis, I don't think it would make much odds if he were replaced. It's not the medium its the message. ..and the UK message is confused. If one member of the cabinet speaks and contradicts another that might play well in domestic politics but it does not serve...

There were three strands to phase 1.. the Irish border question, the rights and reciprocal rights of EU citizens and UK subjects, and the sums of money owing. . The UK were informed of these , and that the EU would negotiate as a block on these three items before any other items were discussed...

my niece, living in Berlin danced on the wall on the night / day... The EU was central to the discussion. Of course West Germany was going to reunite and if that had meant expulsion from the EU they would have done so, such was the outwelling of hope. But can you not see that the then EU...

Peter, I had formed the opinion that you were a reasoning person. How was absorbing a land area and population larger than Sweden, ( a guess) not an EU matter? It was greenlighted and facilitated by the EU of course. It was in Europes interest, just as prevention of nuclear war in Europe at that...

Which bits are new?.. the interpretation of the raison d'etre for the EU project was articulated very clearly and is part of the thought processes which informs European thinking, not the paltry sum which gets referred to again and again on this forum. Remember Germany and the EU absorbed the...

Peter can you not see that your government is floundering? It is confused as to what it wants. And of course it must be. It doesn't have a mandate, whatever legitimacy it had prior to the election has evaporated.

Well constructed article, reiterating some of which I have posted on previously, but with additional insights. I have not known about.

In an engineering context, rather than a simplistic hobbyist viewpoint you have to be able to measure , analyse and construct and explain . The first thing you need to find out is the general specs for the motor. What kit do you have access to? Dynamotor? Lathe, the things you need to know...

The details of the following may have some errors but the general gist is true. At least when it was flagged up on a radio programme and in our Dail no writs were issued. Ireland had a financial meltdown following 2008 and the property mortgage sector was in freefall. So called vulture...

I think the" proclaimers" got there before you on that one... play their" cap in hand ". Availble on youtube.... May I suggest you are asking the wrong question, it should be not how is this possible ?but why is this possible?

.. they don't call it a wine lake for nothing and needs must. Actually I am not a drinker, and the most I ever brought back was 50 bottles for a wedding.

.. but you did supply the updated link so thanks

The RoI did have a working group on customs in the tenure of our previous leader Enda, but our current leader Leo took the view that it was enabling the addiction of Brexit and has disbanded it.. at least publicly. Of course the EU has contingency plans for a UK walkout. As I warned a long time...

.. probably the polite way I brought the error to your attention?

Peter, I assume you had intended that as a link but it did not come across as such...

I have grown increasingly suspicious of organised charities.

If you accept the validity of your first sentence, can you not therefore accept that the remainder is tripe.? The UK will hit international legal difficulties , not just EU ones, if they attempt to bypass the Anglo Irish agreement( the so called Good Friday Agreement). That agreement was...

Come on Tommie, in what way is the 27 nation EU dependent on 60 million in the UK. For every UK subject, there are 9 EU citizens. Ireland's situation is more dependent... Close to 40% of our trade is with the UK.. more if you include the transfers accross the border. If you haven't yet done so...

Carrying on to one of Peter s queries I get no feeling that our newspapers are feeding us a propaganda line in order to bolster an anti UK feeling ,or pro EU line .. but then if it were very skillfully done I wouldn't.. but please remember we can read everything from the UK as well as EU, so...
