I saw a piece a few weeks ago, it was a 60 minutes Australia show on Chernoble. So there the presenter was talking about the levels of radiation and even in the control room etc. They then went to an orphanage where kids with birth defects were, and there they were a bunch of Irish builders on their own time at their own expense building a better facility for the kids. The presenter was nearly in tears, he said to one of the lads, “I didn’t think fellas like you existed any more?”… and the Irish fella said “sure theres loads of us here” and he went off back to work.

It makes me proud that this country can produce people like that.

When Bertie ahern went to prison, oh wait.

Some nice pieces there,good to see the neighbours help an elderly person,and what a summer we had,

Don’t forget the old man who saved his pension money to donate food to dog shelter and Lidl treating him for Christmas! That was nice story :-)

I heart Ireland

If we had à summer like 2013 every year, and ousted all the violence, we would have à great new year ever year. Love each other.

For me it was the Donal Cusack blog. Powerful stuff. http://ccusack111.blogspot.ie/2013/10/depression-is-friend-not-my-enemy_28.html?m=1

The Domhnall moment on the Late Late

you know for all the crap we have to deal with there are some amazing people and moments out there. It’s good to be reminded of it sometimes. Thanks for posting.

Donal Walsh should have this article all to himself.

Legend of a young lad & his ilk is needed more and more in our society

The Weather, had to be?

The New Year would have been great if there was a change of government.

My partner volunteered in Chernobyl a few years back, he said it was both the hardest and most rewarding thing he has ever done!

Ah that old chestnut ” a change of government ”

Irish governments are like two pairs of underpants
You select one and put up with them until they need changing
Then you select the second pair and put up with them until the first and still unwashed pair start to look like a more acceptable alternative

Thanks for the link John Buckley. Scary stuff but great to see the boys doing their thing. Great work!!!

OMG, as they say.

Why red thumbs not that it bothers me? Surely the majority of Irish people would accept a change of government because of the way we have been robbed with unfair taxes, bullied and intimidated.

Dont remember any of them but if you say so thaths ok:)

The comments on this article only show sadly that some people are so fixed in their negativity that they cannot allow themselves a little moment of happiness and choose instead to make negative comments about items not even mentioned in the article. We wonder why people call us a nation of begrudgers?
