Aibu to wonder what Russia is up to in Ireland..

Reading this was a shock, given recent events... www.rte.ie/news/primetime/2022/0310/1285699-russian-embassy-orwell-road-irish-government/

@Bellusaurus

Would have done great work for us on the housing shortage

I'm seeing it fine both times, Bellusaurus.

Jeepers that's huuuge.

The plans also included the provision of 13 toilets in the basement, which is considered unusual for a storage area.

Placemarking... Felt very uncomfortable re the military drills off ourccoadt & the cyber attack on the HSE last year.... The kremlin have mentioned ireland a few times in speeches over the past fortnight 😩

Most of those Russian Embassy suitcases need to be packed and expelled, along with their owners.

Considering I live in Northern Ireland I consider Southern Ireland to be a perfectly acceptable term.

🤦🏻‍♀️

If we're not more careful about what they're getting up to there, it will all end up as Russeire.

The Russian ambassador to Ireland doesn't appear to be among their brightest or their best. I almost felt sorry for him when he was interviewed on RTE last week.

@Lurking9to5

I suspect Ireland paid that ransom money :-(

Did we? I thought we hadn't paid.

Worried about what the Russians are up to in Dublin now...

Ireland for me too for the name of the country (or ROI if clarity is needed whether it's Ireland the island or Ireland the state that's in question). I hate the name Southern Ireland, even though I live in the south of the country. It's an understandable mistake to make, but it's just wrong.

@AbsentmindedWoman

This expansion plan will go down like a cup of cold sick in Ireland.

Didn't know the embassy was on Orwell Road in Dublin though

No wayyy! 😂

Thank you @Chamomiltea.

Putin is a cunt and he looks like this .

Considering I live in Northern Ireland I consider Southern Ireland to be a perfectly acceptable term.
You may think so but to citizens of the ROI when you capitalize it like that it isn't acceptable.

@ochonagusochonoh The island of Ireland is two different countries, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland

The island of Ireland is two different countries, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland

Nope

Where's the nope.

Ireland... The whole island

Northern Ireland
Southern Ireland/ROI

Different currencies, heads of states, flags, capitals... Separate

Stop trying to wind people up @Bintymcbintface

I'm not, they're different countries, not a wind up geographical fact 🤷‍♀️

Give over

Read a book

Which book?

An atlas maybe?

I'm not, they're different countries

Yeah except Ireland is not called Southern Ireland you dope

When you find Southern Ireland in an atlas I'll be glad to take a look.
