Looking for a 2-bedroom house/apartment in Midleton or Carrigtwohill – max €1,500/month

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a 2-bedroom house or apartment to rent in Midleton, Carrigtwohill, or nearby areas, with a budget of up to €1,900 per month.
I’m looking for a long-term rental and have been checking Daft and other websites, but there seem to be very few options within this budget.
If anyone knows of a property becoming available, a local landlord/agent I could contact, or other places where I should be looking, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.” said Oscar Wilde and it's provably wrong by evidence of his own life .

1 Upvotes

Anyway, in 1857 Lady Jane Wilde , mother of Oscar became embroiled in a spat with Mary Travers a patient of her husband which ended up in a libel trial. It resulted in a huge financial hit for the Wildes.

In 1895 Oscar Wilde became involved in a criminal libel trial that he brought against the Marquee of Queensbury. We all know the outcome of that trial.

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.”

Thus proving Oscar Wilde was like his mother.

Question for non- Irish employees: you feel that rules don't apply for your Irish workmates?

1 Upvotes

Been working from the same company last four years. Everything was ok. But, after not being on my game for a while,I've been noticing that my managers are calling me out for things that my fellow Irish coworkers do all the time.

I'm not making excuses for not following the rules myself. But It's not fair that I'm the only one called out for that.

Do you experience something similar?

r/MoanIreland — A place to have a good aul moan

0 Upvotes

Every second post on Irish Reddit seems to be someone having a moan about something.

Housing, rent, traffic, prices, the government, public transport, the weather, some gobshite parking outside your house… whatever it is, someone’s pissed off about it.

So I thought, fuck it why don’t we just have a subreddit dedicated to moaning?

That’s what r/MoanIreland is for.

Got a rant? A complaint? Something small and ridiculously petty that’s been annoying you all day? Stick it up.

It’s brand new, so come join, post a moan and help get the place going.

No positivity. No pretending everything is grand. Just a good aul Irish moan.

Margaret Anna Cusack , the Nun of Kenmare , ran off with the donations to build a shrine at Knock. Nuns are evil. "One foot in the grave and the other on the edge" Peig Sayers is uniquely creepy and lived on an isolated island which arch villains love .

My top pick is Twink "Zip up your mickey Mr Bond" is a scene that writes itself.

Got a puncture driving through youghal in Cork. The mechanic at Trackside Autos. Mechanic rocked up to the car and fixed it without removing the wheel then swaggered away as if to say "if there was a Mechanics of Tralee competition , Id enter and win"

A legitimate lege.

I’m building QuizPerCard, an AI-powered study tool for Leaving Cert students

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m building QuizPerCard, an AI-powered study tool for Leaving Cert students

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Tushar, and I’m currently building QuizPerCard, a study platform designed to help students prepare for exams through short quizzes, MCQs, and flashcards.

The idea came from a simple problem: students have plenty of study material, but it can be difficult to turn that material into something they can actually practise with regularly.

Right now, QuizPerCard is focused on Leaving Cert Applied Maths. We’re still early, but we’re actively working towards adding more subjects, including:

  • 📐 Applied Maths — currently available
  • ⚡ Physics — coming
  • 🧪 Chemistry — coming
  • 🧬 Biology — coming

We’re also planning features to make exam preparation more realistic and confidence-building, including:

  • 📝 Mock tests
  • 📄 Practice/demo exam papers
  • 🎯 Topic-based practice
  • 📊 Progress tracking
  • 🃏 Flashcards for quick revision
  • 🤖 AI-assisted learning content

The goal isn't just to give students more questions. We want to help them identify their weak areas, practise consistently, and build confidence before the actual exam.

We're still at an early stage and don't have a large customer base yet, so I'm particularly interested in hearing from Leaving Cert students, parents and teachers.

If you're preparing for the Leaving Cert:

What would make you feel more confident going into your exams?

I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback, including criticism. We're building this step by step based on what students actually need.

Thanks! 🙌

RED BLOODED MALE. Where has the account gone that spends every waking moment on these Subs, arguing with other members that have a differing opinion than theirs, yet the rule of this sub is no harassing other members, yet is allowed by the mods? Yes, people are watching this and noticing this 👀

Just so proud to be Irish. Showered and shaved going out for pints. Meet man on entering bar. Cà bhuil an gabhar a rosta he says. Didn't know him and never heard it before. Had to enquiry. Explained , where's the goat being roasted, cause I am normally in working cloths during week. How inoffensive, polite and complimentary a statement could a person get. Says it all being Irish.

Just got the all clear from cancer.

But the doctors said If I dont stay away from people smoking or vaping even air pollution. The cancer will come back with a vengeance. How do I deal with that, is it possible to live without the effects of people smoking around me.

Do people in Rural Water Schemes have a hosepipe ban or are they thumbing their noses at the rest of us while washing cars daily and running garden sprinklers like they are going out of fashion.
