Would you give a mention to a shower of talented nerds – Suzanne O’Grady and David Canavan who have been at the Web Summit plugging their Irish start-up search engine…..Twiddle.
Twiddle is all about using mathematical algorithms to make searching on the internet much more effective, optimised and visual. Twiddle is really slick and more importantly a great new Irish start-up…

 

Twiddle.

Twaddle or twenius.

YOU decide.

There will be no public inquiry into the 1985 death of Fr Niall Molloy [above] despite earlier calls by the highly regarded Garda cold case team, the Irish Daily Mail can reveal.

…recently the Garda Serious Crime Review Team recommended a public inquiry into the killing, according to Department of Justice sources.
…However, following consultation between Justice Minister Alan Shatter, the Garda Commissioner and the Cold Case Team, this recommendation has been changed.
….The Mail understands that gardaí believe there were two possible reasons Fr Molloy was killed. The fallout over money was one factor, while another motive may have been resentment. It is understood that the priest had formed a close relationship with a female close to one of the suspects in the case.
Gardaí believe that two people may have been involved in the killing and others at the party were aware of it.
Cold case officers were ‘very surprised’ that a guest list was not provided to investigating detectives, while some of those who attended refused to co-operate later with the cold case investigation.

Speaking to Shannonside news nephew of the late Fr Molloy Bill Maher says the family have not been officially informed of this but they’re disgusted if it is true.

Was it for this?

This is Britain, where we are meant to be style leaders. As such we carry with us the burden of responsibility to set an example for those who inhabit less sartorially-enlightened nations. One needs look no further than the Republic of Ireland – where the bootleg-jean-wearing-man has now joined the shamrock and the harp as an emblem of national identity. It’s hard to believe that the 2010 IMF bailout of the Irish economy didn’t include a care package of slimfit denim.
