Why don’t the authorities in Ireland use helicopters to follow cars if it’s needed?

I remember watching them on Road Wars in the UK 20 years ago, seems safe and it’s very difficult to get away from.

Are other countries seeing as many accidents involving e-scooters?

E-scooters are in countries all around the world, are the accidents we’re seeing in Ireland normal or are restrictions more relaxed here or are roads here different and not as suitable?

Who’s buying the second hand cars you see up for sale for 300k or 400k plus with thousands of kilometres on them?

Amazing cars, Ferraris, Lamborghinis etc. But surely if you’re spending that kind of money you’d go for something brand new.

What’s the issue with doing an excavation similar to Tuam in Bessborough before they build housing there?

If they find anything when they start building they’ll have to shut it down surely, so why not just do the excavation first and then add a memorial area to the plans?

Why was the MV Matthew sold for $1 and why wasn’t a price set at €17m that it cost to store and maintain?

I presume if it was on sale for $1 there would have been a lot of shipping companies interested in getting a huge ship for basically nothing, why wasn’t there an open auction to allow bidding against each other?

When Tony and Paulie take a roadtrip with their toothbrushes because they might get pinched, what was the long game?

Let’s say there’s evidence that they did it and everyone is after them, is the plan to leave the country? To where? Maybe the old country? Or south of the border, down Mexico way?

What are the benefits to Ireland of having so many data centres here for such a small country?

I understand multinationals and the push to have as many here as possible, as they provide a lot of jobs which in turn pay tax, but from what I’ve read data centres don’t provide that many jobs, yet account for 24% of the electricity usage. Are there benefits that I’m not aware of as to why there seem to be so many in Ireland. Does the country benefit in other ways to having them based here?

Or is this a normal trend across other developed nations.

Any modern movies in the past 10 years like Boyz In Da Hood or Menace II Society?

I loved these movies when they came out, I was very young and shouldn’t have been watching them lol, but still watch them from time to time, it seems like movies don’t really get made in this category anymore, at least in the mainstream, any suggestions?

What do they do at CERN all day?

I understand they built the LHC to crash two atoms into each other to mimic what happened at the beginning of the universe or black holes or something. Ok they did that, got the results, now what are the thousands of really smart employees doing all day if the experiment is done with results analysed, or do they just repeat the same thing over and over again for the future?

If Tony lived, and was still alive in 2026, how would everyone have celebrated the 4th of July 250th anniversary?

Maybe over at AJ’s or Meadows place, or a bbq at home, or on a nice hill over looking a river, with pine cones around.
