    People who attacked a child with acid and left him permanently disfigured were not prosecuted, a decision the DPP took this week. This woman was prosecuted for the crime of being sent a video. Something's gone very wrong in the Justice system.

    Devastating interview with on RTÉ. We can argue over the numbers, policies & our opposing visions. But when a political leader wobbles on issues such as the rule of law, tackling murder and violence; that’s something no Irish man or woman can endorse

    Mary Lou McDonald is not a victim. But her party Sinn Fein, courtesy of it’s military wing, the IRA, has left thousands of innocent victims in its wake.

    Proud of our colleagues in the UK. Pity the American ones didn’t do the same when Trump tried this lark.

    And Geoffrey Burgon's haunting version of "Nunc Dimmitis" ("Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace"), specially written for the series, was superb and earned him an Ivor Novello award.

    And of course the BBC series had Alec Guinness playing George Smiley, a part Alec was born to play. I doubt if anyone reading Le Carré can imagine anyone else as the "The Circus" spy. Gary Oldman was great in the role but was not match for Guinness.

    The '79 BBC version of Le Carré's "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is on You Tube (7 episodes) and is superior to Tomas Alfredson's 2011 film, excellent though that was.The latter was prob incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't read the book whereas the TV series was easier to follow.

    Me: Premium is gone up 47% since last year. What's the story? Insurance Company : Part of the reason for that is that the other named driver on the policy has 3 penalty points. Me: Take them off the policy so. Insurance Company : That makes it more expensive They're gas...

    2/2 He’s 5’7”, has end stage emphysema and survives on inhalers and oxygen. He can’t walk more than twenty feet without stopping. The three members of our indigenous nomadic tribe became enraged, drove him to an ATM where he gave them money and then they left him on the road. 🤬

    A nurse suggested to my mother, who is in a nursing home, that she go to bed for a couple of hours after her lunch. "Oh no", she replied, "that would be a bad habit to get into". My mother will be 104 on 28th Feb.

    So, today, we learned our subsised banks - AIB and Bank of Ireland - are selling their ATM networks to an American company that will charge you €3.50 to withdraw even €10. Make this an election issue. We cannot take this stealth tax shit.

    The solicitors representing this conman must have known his claim was bogus. They must have figured there was a chance he would succeed in the compo lottery and they would have got a nice slice of the winnings.
