  1. I will be flying home from a holiday on the day of the Grand Final so I may miss most of it and also my voting time. But I will be travelling home from the airport by bus (4 hours) so it will be a good way to pass the time by catching up on all the fun
  2. Hi @Vektor, I'm just going out to the St.Patrick's Day parade but will give this more consideration later when I get home. I think I would be more willing to allow it as long as the song is sung by the same artist as the original and if it doesn't differ too much musically from the original. Might be a good one to put to a vote after this contest so we have an answer before the next Open edition.
  3. Today is our national holiday, St.Patrick’s Day. Each city, town and village will have their own parade today to celebrate. I will be going to my local parade at 3pm The Dublin City parade is starting now if anyone is interested to watch: https://www.rte.ie/player/onnow/66546216066
  4. Having a look through the schedule here is some of the big days for Team Ireland Included a few outside chances here that probably unlikely to medal but not without some realistic chance. On the otherhand I have not included outside chances that may yet come to fruition, for example boxing could have more chances when the team is finalised, men's road race cycling and other outside chances in equestrian (individual jumping). Overall it looks most likely we will win our first medal on Day 4 or 5 and then with a lot of chances coming on the middle weekend. Our first gold could possibly be on Day 7 in the men's lightweight double sculls.

  5. Paris 2024 Qualification - Team Ireland Jack Woolley qualifies for his second Olympic Games in taekwondo and becomes the 91st member of Team Ireland!

  6. A quick Google search says he was banned for 4 years and 3 months from February 28th, 2020, so assuming his ban ends at the end of May of this year. The qualification period runs until June 23rd so theoretically he could qualify but it is beyond unlikely to be honest.
  7. Mr.Bach won’t like that. It doesn’t meet the youth and urban agenda.
  8. Parkinson's Law..... work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion
  9. Nice to see the flags making prominent appearances throughout the championship. Too bad those flags were hanging in the stands rather than being paraded around the track in celebration
  10. McDonagh was 5-0 winner over in the men’s 92kg+
  11. It’s also one of the few national flags with the colour purple on it
  12. I have my final 15, just need to finalise the order now. I think it's pretty stable but there might be some shifts in position so will give it another listen or two before submitting my votes.
