I have to say they have done a great job tidying up the Glen of the Downs. I am sure the traffic noise is much reduced.

Statute of Limitations in Ireland. The time period usually starts from the date of knowledge of the potential cause of action.

“Let’s call ourselves ‘Rage Against the Regime’!”
“No, that’s a dumb name. Let’s be ‘Dublin Says No’!”
“Not a chance. If we’re called ‘Rage Against the Regime’ we can shorten it to RAR, and that sounds a bit like ‘rawr’, y’know the noise that lions make! Rawr! Rawr!”
“Yeah but ‘Dublin Says No’ has all the heritage of the unionists and Ulster and everyone takes you more seriously when you say things with a northern accent.”
“But ‘Rage Against the Regime’ sounds like Rage Against the Machine, that band from LA who do the heavy metal rapping stuff. And they were on the soundtrack to the Matrix - the first one before the story began to suck.”
“People will make fun of us if we’re called Rage Against the Machine, er, Regime.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake. Lookit, you be ‘Dublin Says No’ and I’ll be ‘Rage Against the Regime’. Deal?”
“Okay, deal!” Let’s go to Merrion Street!"
“Rawr! Rawr!”
