DCU student Paul Bunbury (above) has been missing since Thursday. Paul was last seen in the college campus [Collins Avenue, Glasnevin, Dublin 9] at around 4pm. He hasn’t been online in over 24 hours and his phone is switched off which is out of character for him. If anyone has seen him or has any information please contact Whitehall garda station on (o1)6664500. There will also be a search at 2pm in DCU meeting at the Helix.

Throughout, Kowalik [Magda’s real name] has remained well disposed to Irish people. “It kind of proved that I’m right about [the] Irish, because [of] the amount of positive, amazing comments. And they were not just my friends. Of course, there were angry comments, but they were at the system and at the ‘Magda’ character from the changed article. But when it started to come up that this was not what the article was about . . . it just proved me right.
…What about going back to Poland? “No. You’re stuck with me for good.”
