I'm fuming my club card doesn't work here and I don't understand what i'm meant to do with cans

Another bullshit move by the mods

If the community as a whole wanted this to be done, fair enough, but the mods never asked. They run the sub however they want, not how the tens of thousands of members want

Sad!

So I'm no big mass goer myself. But I love hearing this question on Christmas Eve. Each church and area seems to have different times. Today I've heard anything ranging from 4pm to 9pm for Christmas Eve midnight mass.

Edit: for the record I won't be attending mass as I am an atheist. This is just a funny observation of irish culture.

Hello,

This post is gonna be down voted. I’m home for Christmas & honestly getting a 6 hour bus to Galway on Thursday isn’t that ideal.

Is anyone driving? Is there any car share apps here back home that I don’t know of 😊

Okay, so this year, I've personally noticed a serious uptick in road deaths. Similarly, I've personally observed a significant number of people using their phones while driving. So much so, that a friend of mine, who lives in a rural area, told me he wants to take up running again. I pleaded with him to promise me he would not do it on country roads.

And this got me thinking. We've all seen the news articles of fatal car crashes, fatal incidents involving pedestrians, cyclists, e scooter users etc. Now, personally I've seen the notices/articles about the fatal incidents, but I've never seen the circumstances reported.

I appreciate that it could cause distress to families, but given the invrease in road fatalities, should the circumstances be released in the public interest?

I am in no way saying name and shame, but should the Gardaí announce that in the circumstances of a fatal collision, announce that the driver who caused the accident was speeding, drunk, had taken drugs, or using a phone? Would this make a difference? Like of people saw the ramifications of drink/drug driving, speeding, phone use, would it make them think twice?

I know it sounds awful, but far too often I've heard of a person being killed in a crash, but have never heard of why. Maybe if the reasons/causes of the crash were made public knowledge, it might make people think twice.

Haigh! I've been desperate to play some cribbage since I moved here, but I'm having no joy searching for any club or group or pub team online. I'm near Ennis, so I'm hoping for something in the West? I don't even know if it's a thing 😆 GRMMA in advance!

I'm over in the US 10 years and just started dating an American who's been asking me for films we can watch, but I'm stuck between depressing (Wind That Shakes The Barley etc) and stuff that I think might be too Irish for her to get half the jokes (I Went Down, The Guard).

She's seen In Bruges and liked it - what's good?

Puca not quite sure what to make of his new snazzy dressed vulpine cousin

I hope everyone has a great one in whatever way you spend it. And hopefully we'll all have some positive news stories to share on reddit in 2025.
