Matt Cooper said on his podcast that he sits in the Ard Chomhairle section in Croke Park.

I like to feel that I am not naïve about Irish media and that they mix with power, but this revelation actually surprised me. Seems a bit odd to me for a journalist to be offered and accept a seat in a section of the stadium mostly populated by senior GAA officials, members of government, and visiting dignitaries, etc.

What is Rory Stewarts political lineage?

I am a casually listener so I do not know Rory's ideology in depth but from what I can pick up on he is a Tory who is really into foreign aid? I am Irish and there is just nothing that is equivalent of that in Irish politics, foreign aid is something that I would associate with the left here and I assumed it was the same in the UK so Rory's politics have me a bit confused! I assume there is precedent in UK politics for this type of Tory?

Would appreciate anyone who has knowledge about extending door frame heights

I am very tall and I have viewed a house that I love but two of the doors are low and I have to duck my head under them, anyone know if it is a big job (or possible to extend door frame heights?)

I have not seen any media outlet refer to Bertie Ahern's comments as 'far right'

'far right talking points' is a very common phrase in the media and I often seen it applied to comments that are far less explicit that Ahern's.

I have felt before that who makes a comment is just as important as the content of the comment in terms of where on the political spectrum the Irish media places it.

How do you get your oil tank filled if no side entrance?

I viewed a house in Dublin that only has access to the back-garden through the house. The house is oil heated via a tank in the back garden, in this situation, how is the tank refilled?

Would appreciate if anyone has experience of this ?
