Stop that.

Last Saturday.

Áras an Uachtaráin, Phoenix Park, Dublin.

World Rowing Championships stars Gary O’Donovan  and Paul O’Donovan prove helpless with  President Higgins’ Bernese Mountain Dogs Síoda and Bród at a reception for members and volunters of Skibbereen Rowing Club, including its four World Rowing Championships.

Needy or unstable?

“The Berner, as he’s nicknamed, love their people, especially children, and will pine without human companionship. They should certainly have access to a securely fenced yard, but when the family is home, the Bernese should be with them.”

This morning.

Áras an Uachtaráin, Phoenix Park

President of Ireland Michael D Higgins meets Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton (above) and members of the Choctaw Nation of Native Americans.

The Choctaw Nation’s generosity toward Ireland during the famine was marked with the dedication on Sunday of a piece of sculpture, entitled Kindred Spirits, in Ballick Park, Midleton, County Cork.

The letter, which is confidential and known as a “warrant of appointment”, insisted President Higgins ratify Ms Whelan’s role in the appeals court immediately.

The unpublished letter is understood to have included a “specific” demand that the appointment be made on Monday morning, despite the fact the timeline had until then not been the subject of any discussion.

While no formal reason was included in the letter explaining the schedule being sought, sources close to the process said they believe the timeline was put forward to ensure the position was set in stone before any Dáil or Cabinet criticism today.

Fight!
