hey everyone 🙏

so i'm buying a place from a builder and trying to sort out my own solicitor for the conveyancing. from what i've read on here and heard from a few ppl, the builders side solicitor can be a real pain to deal with and keeps pushing you to sign the contracts asap, even tho the contracts themselves are pretty standard. so i really just want someone on my side who wont get rushed or bullied into anything.

ideally someone who actually replies and doesnt leave you hanging for days, is fairly priced and not charging mad money, and is firm enough that they wont fold the second the builders solicitor starts piling on the pressure.
i'm based in Dublin and buying a property in Wexford if you've bought from a builder and had a solicitor you'd genuinely recommend, pls drop their name and rough idea of what they charged. bonus if they're used to dealing with developers!

Anyone from Deerpark, gorey? Need a bit of help with housing

My partner and I have been seriously craving proper Nawabi-style biryani. You know the kind, slow-cooked, aromatic, layered with saffron, kewra, fried onions, whole spices… that rich, fragrant flavour rather than just hot and chillies. Basically the Behrouz Biryani vibe we used to get back in India.

Most places here lean heavily on chilli/spice and miss the depth and aroma we're after. Would love your recommendations for restaurants (or even home chefs / cloud kitchens) around Dublin that do a proper Lucknowi dum biryani with real flavour infusion.

TIA! 🙏

I don't even know how to start this post. I've rewritten it five times.

On Sunday, my friend left his house to walk to Tesco. A ten-minute walk. He wanted tea. That was it. That was the entire plan for his afternoon. Two 16-year-olds attacked him on the way, and he died on the street while they recorded it on their phones and laughed.

He was Irish. He was white. He was the gentlest, most keep-to-himself kind of person you could meet... someone who genuinely did not bother a single soul on this earth. I'm putting that up front because I know how these threads go, and I refuse to let this get hijacked into a race conversation or an immigration conversation. He was one of yours. He was one of mine. He's just gone.

I have been hearing about this stuff for over a year now. Every news story, every WhatsApp forward, every "did you hear what happened in..." conversation. And for a long time it was something that happened somewhere else, to someone else. I kept telling people: this is a real problem, we need to talk about it. And every single time, without fail, I got the same answers. Don't generalise. It's a tiny minority. Every country has this. You're being unfair to Ireland. You're being dramatic.

I wasn't being dramatic. I wish to God I had been. I would give anything to have been wrong.

I genuinely cannot wrap my head around the fact that this happened to someone I know. Someone I've sat with. Someone whose voice I can still hear. He went out for tea. Tea. And he was beaten to death by children... because that's what they are, children...who then stood over his body and filmed it like it was a TikTok. What kind of human being does that? What kind of upbringing produces that? These aren't kids who lost their temper in a fight. These are kids who hunted a stranger for entertainment.

Honestly, it feels like a war out there. Like the only safe move is to lock the door and stay inside, because the moment you step out for milk or a pint or a cup of tea, you might run into a pack of teenagers who have been raised with no fear, no empathy, and no consequences. That sounds like an exaggeration until you're the one identifying your friend.

And then there are the lawyers fighting for bail. I understand everyone deserves a defence. I do. But something is deeply, deeply broken when grown professionals look at that footage and decide the right play is to minimise it and get those boys back on the street. I hope they can sleep at night. I genuinely do.

I'm not here with a policy proposal. I'm not going to pretend I have the answer on Garda numbers or sentencing or age of criminal responsibility. Those conversations need to happen...but they need to happen after we collectively agree there's something to talk about. We are still stuck arguing about whether we're even allowed to say the word "problem" out loud, while people keep dying.

So please. I am begging this country I love: stop being more offended by people raising the alarm than by the violence itself. Stop telling grieving people they're "generalising." Stop pretending this is fine. It is not fine. A gentle man went out for tea and didn't come home. He was my friend. He won't be the last unless we find the courage to call this what it is.
