After two weeks of maintaining their burgers were horsemeat-free, Burger King has admitted selling beef burgers containing horsemeat which originated from Larry Goodman’s Silvercrest plant in Monaghan.
A Burger King spokesperson said:
“Four samples recently taken from the Silvercrest plant have shown the presence of very small trace levels of equine DNA. Within the last 36 hours, we have established that Silvercrest used a small percentage of beef imported from a non-approved supplier in Poland. They promised to deliver 100per cent British & Irish beef patties and have not done so. This is a clear violation of our specifications, and we have terminated our relationship with them.Through our investigation, we have confirmed that this non-approved Polish supplier is the same company identified by the Irish Department of Agriculture as the source of Silvercrest’s contamination issue.”

A monument to Queen Victoria by John Hughes RHA, unveiled outside Leinster House in 1908.
Removed in 1948, ostensibly to provide parking for cars…
…and taken to the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, an unofficial dumping ground/storage depot for politically incorrect government sculptures.
Photographed by Patrick Healy at the hospital (above) in 1971, Victoria languished unloved and unkempt until…
…the mid-1980s when she was shipped to Australia, tidied up and placed outside the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney (above).
The rest of the monument, including statues of Erin, remain in the grounds of Leinster House (above) and Dublin Castle.

The entire sushi piece is made from legos. The seaweed is made from blacktron baseplates and wrapped around a whole ton of loose Legos.

I know you don’t normally do this but was wondering if you’d show these new interface designs for the Taxi Check-in app? We are all young Irish graphic designers working on this late into the night.
Taxi Check-in now has contracts with Xpert Taxis, Global Taxis, Reidy’s Cabs, and Exchequer Taxis. The app currently allows you to view the taxi details and send your location and the details to a friend. There’s big developements on the way this year which are really unique and will change what we expect when we hail a taxi off the street. Thanks from all of us.
Thoughts?
