      That’ll show them!

      That’s it lads. Trump and Nethanyahu are gonna pull out of Iran now that they’ve heard that the Paddywhacks are doing their laundry at night!

      „Iran crisis“ is such a shit euphemism. US-Israel war on Iran.

      They were chatting away on RTE radio, one guest was a FF TD, WFH was mentioned right as the show ended but he had just enough time to disagree with it because of it meaning people at home would still be spending money on heating the house Yadda Yadda Yadda.

      Clearly this man has a generous fuel allowance. It costs about the price of a litre of diesel to heat a modern house in April. A full tank of fuel is 100+ euro now.

      Iran has been making deals with countries for use of the strait. If the EU/Ireland doesn’t then they are choosing to put us through suffering to show fealty to the US.

    5. Turn off the elderly’s life support. Share the same bath water what else could people do?

    6. Wait, I remember a guy was fined/jailed for carpooling.. it’s allowed now? Are the taxi unions okay with this now?

      [paywalled article](https://m.independent.ie/regionals/westmeath/news/chef-caught-operating-illegal-taxi-service-was-charging-customers-35-for-mullingar-to-dublin-airport-fare/a1246234723.html)

      „Father of one Mahendrasingh Ramchurn (38), of Grange Village, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, told inspectors that while he was fully aware the service he had been providing was an offence, it had been done purely as a means towards covering his petrol costs to Dublin where he worked as a chef.“

      So many measures being taken, and yet WFH remains entirely off the cards because commercial landlords are just **that** much higher up the priorities list for FFG. 

    8. I recently worked in a HSE run care home..the oil heating was never turned off Andover door and window in the place was open. And the place was still roasting. Im sure its the same for most government run building around the country. The coming recession is going to be worse than anything ever experienced in our lifetime and I dont believe people are prepared for the economic shock that’s coming

    9. Ironically I hear even the US army are now “working from home” over there from hotel rooms because Iran destroyed the US military bases in countries over there.

      Same pricks telling us this going to work in 3 litre chauffeur driven Audi’s

    11. The average car speed in Dublin is 16km per hour, any slower and you get a ticket for illegal parking….and doing you laundry at night does not save energy, it just moves the demand.

      Can we turn off the data centres at peak-time? Only allow them to operate at night? How about give everyone the day off on a sunny day to save on air conditioning in offices?

      Would be a start of they got rid of the privilege of a car park in Leinster House for ex TDs then… Our public transport projects would be quick to get approved and done if more of them had to rely on it.

    14. Back to the 70’s! Problem is that we weren’t as reliant on cars then and houses had a working fireplace for heat. Funnily enough,we didn’t shower daily,had limited TV outside Dublin and a lot of us had no phones! How on earth did we survive! We will survive this!

    15. I seem to have opened the door to 2022. 8 must warn myself not to get involved with that south African girl.
