Gardaí discharged from hospital after vapes incident

An investigation is under way after two gardaí were hospitalised following an incident yesterday involving vape products which are believed to have contained cannabis.

Look at the state of these Gardai gobshites. They confiscated vapes, decided to try them out, got stoned and couldn't handle it, went to bloody hospital over it, and now make up some bullshit dog-ate-my-homework excuse about leaks and lithium batteries. And the chef's kiss: "An Garda Síochána said it is providing welfare support to the two officers and their families."

Beethoven or birds? ECB unveils new banknote designs

The European Central Bank has unveiled a shortlist of new banknote designs and expects to ⁠pick a winner by the end of the year in its effort to roll out more secure cash in the future.

www.rte.ie

What do ye think of the new Euro notes design proposals? Which one would you choose? The designs with people look tacky but the bird designs are nice. I don't like the portrait/vertical designs.

All design proposals

The European Central Bank (ECB) is the central bank of the European Union countries which have adopted the euro. Our main task is to maintain price stability in the euro area and so preserve the purchasing power of the single currency.

If we are going to celebrate architecture then it should be architecture worth celebrating, and why don't we see these high denomination notes here in Ireland?

The old punt notes were much nicer

I have only go gone to about 5 concerts in my whole life, they were all Bob Dylan. The evening cost about $600.

there was a great concert on the falls rd last night and AC DC donated their fees to purchasing road signs in irish/english .
Dido sang and the place was packed with IRISH and wannabee irish .
a complete contrast to the 12th july HATEFEST everyone enjoyed themselves .
however a car was stopped by the gardi near carricmacross and a law student was arrested with a car load of explosives .
some believe the bomb was to be detonated at the republican event on the falls rd to polarize the north and to blame it on the UVF and re ignite the troubles .

Irish 'Tradfest'.

I'm not a fan of the fiat currency system or Ireland using the Euro instead of the Punt, but it's what we have. The Euro currency is for member countries of the European Union, it is not supposed to be nationalistic or even about European values, it's about the European Union which is about free trade and movement of people. The proposed new designs are to represent those values. I'm just glad most of the designs are actually nice enough from a design point of view - they could've been a whole lot worse if they wanted to insert woke shite or use super ugly designs to demoralise us, like what's happened to architecture and modern art.
