A visitor outside my apartment in Ringsend [Dublin] this morning
It concerns the case of a fifth-year student at fee-paying Mount Anville in Goatstown [Co Dublin] who was abducted last month by sixth-year schoolmates and left tied to a post in a nearby boy’s school.
…The girl was tied up with builder’s cable cord, blindfolded and driven to Blackrock College while five other sixth years followed behind in another car.
The girl was verbally abused and left alone on the school grounds tied to a post, after a bottle of water was poured over her.

The Road Trip Video Recorder from Hammacher Schlemmer ($130). Hands-free viral video creation for everyone (scenery not included):
The suction cup mount attaches to a window or dashboard and the camera can be directed to record color video at 640 x 480 resolution of the approaching horizon or roadside views. The lens has a 120º viewing angle, an 8X zoom, and integrated motion detection that automatically initiates recording when the car is moving. The 2.4″ LCD viewfinder rotates 270º, enabling travelers to monitor what’s being recorded or view stored video, and four infrared LEDs allow nighttime video recording.
INDEPENDENT TD Mick Wallace will put half his €92,000 Dáil salary towards repaying the €2.1 million Revenue debt of his construction firm MJ Wallace Ltd.
In an emotional personal statement to the Dáil about his tax affairs and under-declaration of VAT, the Wexford TD apologised for “an error of judgment” and said he would “not defend the indefensible. The company understated its VAT liability and we were wrong to do so.”
Penitent mode offline…
Engaging passive aggressive mode…
Mr Wallace also apologised “to the members of this Dáil for bringing any dishonour on a profession which hardly needed it”.
Zing!
