R McHugh named on the subs for U20's tomorrow. Anyone know if red card appealed?

My father had his service from the same church, we had the 30 or so that was allowed but from the short journey from his home the place was packed with mourners, and outside the church it the service was played on a screen

Great clubman of ours had his funeral during that period, plenty lined the streets and we insured distance and so on..

It's embarrassing that it's still a bone of contention, that said, it was always going to come back and bite them in the ass.

But did MON actually  break the rules ?

She said she was one  of the 30 invited to attend the funeral.  If ten more came into the  church , is that not  the church's responsibility to keep them out?


A neighbour of ours died during covid , and  at that stage  the number for funerals was  30 (possibly  40). We watched the mass on  video at home  , and  from seeing the crowd going up for communion it looked a  lot more.

Now ,  I'm assuming between the family/undertaker/priest they had to make  a list of the 30 who were to attend. Obviously it looked like more than 30 attended , but if more  came in through the door ,  who was responsible for breaking the rules?  The church? Undertaker?  The deceased man's family?

Yes.

I have a Bosch 24v Rotak which i bought around 7/8 years ago and think it's the best thing i ever bought. 1 hour charging time and can easily mow 50m2 meters in a single charge. The only maintenance i ever did was take the blade off to sharpen it.

That's sounds like what I wanna hear. What sorta cost was it back then?

Bishop Pat Buckley, 72

Poor aul Pat was a bit of a renegade had his own rules! Got excommunicated... when you think of some of the ones that weren't excommunicated...
God Rest Him 🙏

He did a lot of stuff with Eurochildren when it began..

I remember we got held up at Heathrow one trip and had to stay over. Me and a friend were in the room next door to his at the hotel and he lost the plot with us as we'd the music blasting lol!

He wasn't the worst

It seems to be having a big impact on marketing and things like writing contracts. Software wise it can write code for you but that's based on the bank of data you have so new stuff not as much but I am sure that will improve.

It can give you garbage but there is a real skill to getting what you want out of it too.

In the software space we've used AI to help modernise code, taking something like cobol and writing an equivalent. We had some good results out of it but it's not perfect. It does generally get the gist of what existing code is doing but you are right, all depends on the learned information.

Also seen some really good use cases on predictive maintenance on equipment or vehicles like trucks and cranes. Certainly can provide real efficiencies there.

There is some really cool stuff, but a lot of what you here about is generative AI based which isn't as exciting imo.

Where its really cool is when it's able to tell you something you would not have worked out without ai.
