Are Munster Rugby supporting the application for a rival event centre in Limerick? Nice to know that Cork Rugby supporters will help finance this along with €10 Million for starters from the Government. Move their matches to Limerick, move their training base, isn't working out financially so...

It was always a bit lefty, nothing wrong with that but recently it's gone completely unbalanced. Michael Clifford - Might as well just fly the SF or PBP logo on his columns, Aoife Grace Moore - Most of the time completely SF Daniel McConnell- Seems to be just having a go at the Government at...

CSO out yesterday. Some headline stats make great reading; Cork city and suburbs from 198,000 to 208,000 Cork overall now up to 542,000. 5.4% increase in City and 4.8% increase overall in County and City. Since 2002 population has risen by 100,000 in Cork. I think it's great.

This is serious; http://www.thejournal.ie/limerick-city-dublin-2-2723719-Apr2016/ In a speech today at a breakfast event as part of Dublin Chamber of Commerce’s Dublin 2050 series, former Department of Finance secretary general John Moran said that the country needs a second economic hub to...

Of the seats that FG lost over half were in Munster. Limerick being the only exception. Why? Outside of the National issues some of the local issues below may explain the hammering. No new major Public Infrastructural Projects. Contrast that with new Road projects in the West, Wexford, Wicklow...

Just asking as it seems a village getting flooded in Kilkenny gets more coverage than Bandon, Glanmire, Mallow being under several feet hurt of water and main roads between Cork and Killarney and Waterford being closed, families being rescued from cars in Glanmire, etc. Thousands of people...

For the second time this week, utter gridlock around the city.

Any ideas/thoughts on the Dell takeover of EMC and it's implications for jobs in Cork. What roles are carried out by Dell offices in Limerick and Dublin?

Does anyone know the rules in relation to state aid and what is considered illegal state aid? It's in the context of the debt write off to Shannon Airport (apprx €100 million) and the huge property portfolio of Shannon Development being handed over to the controlling body of Shannon Airport...

Since they have a good track record of delivering much needed infrastructural projects such as UofL, Thomond Park, Munster Rugby training academy, HQ of Munster GAA, etc should Cork be worried that Limerick City will get an events centre for the Munster region before Cork? Munster is only...

It seems our Minister for Health is determined not to do anything as Minister for Health. Everything is either too ambitous or too difficult. His policy seems to be that he'll do nothing in case he fucks up and it affects his chances of becoming leader of Fine Gael or Taoiseach. How is he no...

So 40ish auld fella, haven't had a good old rave up in years, fancy going out in the next week with some friends who are over from London. Any suggestions for some good house music (wide definition for me) etc

Cork and the Dubs pay for the rest of the country. http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/urban-taxpayers-subsidising-rural-homeowners-could-cause-property-tax-backlash-262606.html €7.38 per head funding in Cork €5.06 per head in Dublin Wait for it €147.97 in Limerick and top of the pile...

Tidal Barrier like Hull, Belfast, etc. An engineering solution., Not the proposals being drawn up by the OPW for Quay Walls, etc. Lets get it right and do it once and this should be the no.1 infrastructural priority for Ireland.

Anyone know what the murder rate is in Dublin. Seems shocking the amount of murders there. Another one last night. 5 or 6 murders in Dublin and it isn't the end of January. Must be one of the highest in Europe?
