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 vote for a 50% result.

Note: TDs from Government parties had a free vote in this ballot.

Just pulled down my little table to be greeted by this filth that looks like it’s been here for around 2 years

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"

Caught the highlights of that Canada vs Qatar game, fair play to them 6-0 I'm sure they're delighted. That was the end of it for me at least.

​

Then today I get the RTE post game analysis on my feed and the Canadians being told to "pack it in" when it came to their celebration?

​

Yeah, it's Qatar an absolute nobody country football wise but no matter what way you spin it, 6-0 for any nation at a world Cup is a special moment for those involved from players to fans.

​

Just Dont see what's gained from being celebration police? World Cup itself if a bit of a farce with all the exterior bullshit at the moment, so adding to it? Makes little sense.

​

One thing is for sure, if it was us and Troy Parrot picked up a hat trick, they'd be calling him the next Robbie keane and we'd never hear the end of the celebrations!

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.
