Heimir Hallgrímsson isn't to know this but, given the word's origins here, Irish people know the power & effectiveness of a boycott. Outlining the cost of taking a stance shouldn't deter you from doing the right thing.

My grandfather gave me his International Brigade cap rather than Werther's Originals.
Kick up, not down.
- The BBC royal corr has just said this with a straight face: "Prince Andrew does not get any public funding, he is privately funded by the Queen." Presumably she earned her money from a paper round.
- I’ve invited my ex to join me to mark the anniversary of our painful breakup which had devastating long-term consequences and am offended he won’t attend.
- Heartwarming scenes at Heathrow Airport last night as ex-pats clamoured to bring the new strain to the old sod and then get to tell reporters upon arrival in Dublin of their tales of escape like they were on the last chopper out of Saigon.
- Spoke last night to an Irish guy living in Vienna for 22 years. He pays monthly rent of €600 for a 50sqm apartment, 20 minutes from centre by underground, tram or bus. Simon Harris won't get your kids back from Austria, let alone Australia. Vote left, transfer left #GE2024
- Just reading there that 2,150 catalytic converters have been found by Gardai, after what was presumably an exhaustive search.
- Daniel Wiffen: "Nobody from Ireland has ever won two medals at a Games" Me: "Well Michelle Smith...." Daniel Wiffen: "So nobody has ever won two medals." Interpret as you will.
- Didi Hamann is now more Irish than the Irish themselves
- Some turnaround by the Passport Office. Only 10 days' old!Stuart McCloskey makes his World Cup debut and then gets to bring his newborn son onto the pitch at Stade de France. Great pic by @DanSheridan2012!
- The footage of Gardaí moving in on Cork City fans to remove a Delaney Out flag is not a good look for Irish football.
- I think I've seen Ireland's oldest-surviving umbrella. We were still using the punt when this came into existence.
- Just heard a bloke in his 20s order a Smithwicks with a Guinness head. Respect. Important these traditions aren't lost.
- How has nobody written 'of' between her first name and surname?
