My understanding is that the trains are capable of 177kph compared to the current Enterprise fleet which is only capable of 145kph.

NEW TRAIN 🚨 Irish Rail and NIR are purchasing eight new Stadler FLIRT tri-mode electric/diesel/battery train sets for the Dublin-Belfast Enterprise service. Procurement started in 2023 and there was a short legal battle at the end.

I am a very sensible economist and I think the policies that the Green Party are proposing are not serious. Now I’m going to take a big drink and ignore this chart that shows how much of the polar ice caps will be left by the 2050s

Handbag #2 is done. Whew! The batik was much harder sewing than the crazy patchwork one.
I added a zipper that I had to sew through in an already bulky area. Result: 3 broken needles for one bag. 🙄
But it all worked out in the end.

Must point out rhodo grows in areas where grazers removed/pressure reduced - this tends to be used as an argument against natural succession and for continuous management, when its not the case.

A local councillor is calling for increased Garda presence on the Royal Canal Way after a Deliveroo rider was seriously injured when he was attacked -- the attackers also hijacked his e-bike and stole his phone. Independent.ie reported how 26-year-old Brazilian national André Oliveira had to undergo emergency brain surgery after the attack, which happened shortly before 7pm on Monday, November 24, just days after he bought the new bike.
