If you're a woman living in Dublin and either a sole trader, running a business, or vaguely considering doing so, LEO WIB group is amazing, and hands down the best fifty quid I spend each year.

You get aforementioned Weekly Coffee Zoom, a monthly in-person event, and twice a year they really push the boat out for Summmer Event and the Christmas Party.

Now that Hickeys on Henry street is closed, can I get a recommendation for a well stocked fabric store in Dublin?

My handbag is falling apart and the prices of nice leather are (probably?)* too rich for me. But Hickeys was the only place where I knew I could get quality leatherette by meter.

* ( leather is preferable but cost, and ability to sew by a domestic HD machine - so low thickness - are the deciding factors)

Suggestions welcome!

It's incredibly shameful and sad what has happened today to asylum seekers in Dublin. I'm lost for words, so I'll quote messages from the amazing volunteers that are helping them:
"This morning, without warning, people camped out at the IPO were told to get out of their tents and that they were being moved.

Far right seemed to have been tipped off and came and slashed tents and destroyed belongings.

The asylum seekers have been moved outside the city and just given more tents to put up themselves.
They've literally been cleared away like rubbish for optics for St Patrick's parade
Thousands of euro of tents and equipment have been destroyed at the IPO. All of which was bought or gathered by the volunteers."

Good news everyone!

I have a porcelain coffee cup I really like that has a tiny chip/crack on the handle near where it attaches to the cup proper. I'm anxious that it will get worse and cause the handle to come off, so looking to repair it.

I also have a tub of waterproof grout repair mix in white. Any reason why I shouldn't use it to fill the crack in the handle?

Or are there better ways to repair it?

(other than kintsungi because ain't nobody got time for that)

2) In the same lesson it sets out “táimid inár gcodladh”, “tá sibh in bhur gcodladh” and tá siad ina gcodladh”. Why do the plurals here take an urú? I’ve searched grammar resources to find an explanation but I can’t find anything. What’s going on here or am I being very stupid? Go raibh maith agaibh! 2/2

Gaeilgeoirí, I need some help. I am working through Progress in Irish by Máiréad Ní Ghráda and I have two questions. 1) In lesson 18 it sets out “tá sé ina sheasamh” and “tá sí ina seasamh” and “tá sé ina chodladh” “tá si ina codladh”. Why does the sentence with a female subject not take a séimhiú but the sentence with a male subject does? 1/2
