A Yamaha 90 maybe.

But a Honda?

*sucks teeth*

My brother is involved with a charity driving from Limerick to Mongolia on Honda C90s, Yes, those bikes with the 85cc engines, max speed 50mph, all in aid for Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Here is a video of their story so far.

 

Limerick to Mongolia 2013

 

Dermot Flanagan.

Hates skimpy briefs.

The figures show that Dublin-based senior counsel, Dermot Flanagan, received €96,469 for representing the local authority [Clare County Council] at two An Bord Pleanala oral hearings last year.
The hearing into council plans to construct a new bridge crossing at Killaloe lasted 10 days, while a separate oral hearing into plans to construct a contentious pier at Doolin lasted one day.

 

€96,469.

11 days.

I realise you don’t normally do this, but I’m fuming writing this email. I’m an avid angler and on Saturday went to a fishing expo in Swords, Co Dublin. This is one of the biggest shows of the year and is on in the National Show Centre. Unfortunately there have been a number of car break ins in their car park which is poorly policed. My own van
was targeted today and I’ve had a lot of my prized fishing tackle stolen. If you could put a picture of one item – my IMA lure vest, which is an unusual fishing/floatations vest it might alert anybody who sees it for sale around the country in the next few days. The vest contains a lot of unusual lures and gear which is of no use to anyone who is not as fanatical about shiny fishing gear like me.

 

Anyone?
