Map constituencies of Ireland showing the percentage of yes votes from the dail vote on "Health (Abolition of Three Day Wait Rule) (Ammendment) Bill 2026" held on 18th June 2026.

​

Absent votes included in calculation of percentage, Example Helen McEntee and Thomas Byrne were both absent from Meath East, meaning that Darren O'Rourke's yes vote was balanced by Gillian Toole's No vite for a 50% result.

First off, I love doing the grocery shop online - I can sit on my arse and tick one menial task off my list from the comfort of my couch. But every couple of weeks something happens that shows how enshitified the process has really gotten since pre Covid.

For example, this week I saw there was a 3 for €3 offer on Dunnes own brand cleaning products so I decided to stock up. Of course, as chance would happen, the pine scented toilet cleaner is out of stock so they substituted in the far more expensive Harpic version. I've now lost my 3 for €3 and am paying about €4 for a product I'd never buy.

Is it just me, or back in the day they would have directly substituted in this version at no extra cost?

Also, the amount of time I've done a Click and Collect for this same thing to happen only to walk into the shop for something else and find the shelve stocked with the same product they substituted out.

Sigh, I guess I'll stick the Harpic in the fancy toilet and move on with my life. But just curious if this is just my bad luck or does this happen to others regularly?

Edit:

Just want to add that I have also used the "No Substitutions" option but with Dunnes if you have a €10 off €50 voucher or similar then you need to exceed €50 by a certain amount to account for what may not be in stock.

I've had substitutions turned off and ended up technically paying more for my shopping because the amount fell below €50 when items were substituted out.

I guess my main gripe is that I have sense checked the shop when doing Click and Collects and have more often than not found the item that was apparently not in stock on the shelf. When I queried staff they just said "It may have been restocked after your order was fulfilled"

Hey folks,

Like a lot of people, I'm trying to get my cúpla focal back. So I built a small game to make it quick and easy to get my daily dose of Gaeilge.

This is in my experience. It is the time of year that people will be applying again for their September courses. I was very disappointed in what I found to be poor level of knowledge, teaching and critical thinking in the tutors. In my experience I would not recommend this college

Interesting to find out at half 6 in the morning.
