The Burning Question*: Clapping at the end of a film - grand or very annoying?

Let us distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel.

It’s Monday, you have the whole week looming ahead, and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: One from reader Jason Walsh who says:

Clapping at the end of a film in the cinema – this is for something I’ve seen creep into Ireland recently. I’d like to know what TheJournal.ie readers make of it.

    Awful. Theresa May said the bombing ‘will not break us’. Easy for her to say while living her life in a bullet proof bubble.

    Why or how would anyone ever be taken off a terror watch list with the way the world is now
