How many go out of the group stages?

Bottom team in Leinster relegated, top 2 in each province in final, third plays a prelim QF V Joe McDonagh finalists

Neil McManus was asked what needs to change on TSG yesterday and he said stop relegating teams. Make the hurling pool bigger.

We know that won't work.

Clearly the Croatian song was by far the best one there, as was reflected by the public vote. However, the juries decided otherwise, so really it's all about pushing an agenda. Just a confirmation of what was probably always the case. Or certainly recently. Can't be letting the public actually decide!

Lad got the road for some type of harassment. Country allowed to parcipate when blowing the crap out of people. Yip them high moral standards at the Eurovision.

Missed Russia, though...

Not at all - 'tis not I engaging in empty rhetoric. Whether you call it plantation, colonisation, large-scale immigration, or massive demographic change, it still amounts to a bad deal for the host society. I actually think you're being deliberately evasive, but whatever.

Padraic Henry Pearse must be turning in his grave.

Good night.

No, I'm drawing a line between periods of large-scale immigration. Simple as that. You're trying to put words in my mouth. You may want to engage in semantics, but my point was that massive demographic change is not good for the host society in the long run.

Very low would be what we had prior to 1992. Massive demographic change is now.
The plantations were still immigration. You can play with words all you like, but that's what is was - organised immigration. Was it good for the host society? Were the early waves of immigration to the 'new world' good for the host societies? Was the immigration of Jews to the Middle East a good idea?(!) Will the current massive demographic change be good for Ireland?

Ideally, immigration levels would be very low: the problem with massive demographic change is that the host society loses in the long run. Were the plantations of Ireland a good idea?

What a bizarre question.
I am blaming the government for allowing these levels of immigration.
Puh.

Continually letting people into the country when there's nowhere to put them? You couldn't make it up.

so blame the govt... not 'foreigners' and don't burn down hotels/accommodation!!

International Law is above and beyond teeny extremist minds.

It's not one bit extreme to want to protect your nation's borders. Unless your dream is the mindless anti-fa/ anarchist mantra of "no nations, no borders".

Public vote? Haha!

What's a wizard then?!

Quite like the song. The fact that she's a freak is neither here nor there. An awful lot of self-obsessed freakos in the music-world.

And now you label anyone who wants national borders and sovereignty upheld a fascist? You don't really have a clue what fascism is, do you?

Who funds mainstream media, then? And remember, too, that that is demonstrably dishonest when it comes to the immigration issue.
