Beidh aistear fada romhainn amárach, tógfaidh sé sé uair an chloig sa charr, ar a laghad. Rachaidh muid ó thuaidh go dtí teach mháthair mo bhanchara. Beidh mé ar ais ar líne ar an gCéadaoin seo chugainn, go dtí sin tugaigí aire daoibh féin agus tóg bog é! Tá súil agam go mbeidh Nollaig deas [...]
… is what some are calling it. I’m referring to the IDA’s policy of attracting foreign investment by dropping corporate tax to a mere 12.5% (compared to 35% in the US). This issue has been covered a number of times on Techdirt, they looked at both Microsoft & Google who have set up here for [...]
It’s sort of a milestone today for Raiméis (or Ráiméis if you’re posh). Since I started tracking my blog stats back in August of this year I have received 10,000 visitors! I’m quite pleased with that considering I put so little effort into promoting my blog. So thanks for visiting, I hope you didn’t suffer [...]

Perhaps they were the armed wing of the chicken resistance group, Cairde na nÉan? Or maybe a viscious splinter group, An Briogáid Eireog? The response by the Gardaí [...]
Apologies for the lack of activity here recently, especially with responses to your posts, i’ve been a bit preoccupied. To make up for it it’ll give you one incident from my list of “Potentially Embarrassing Moments”.
