Dublin SPCA sez:

The DSPCA are delighted with the court results from today of an owner of a cat (above) who died due to severe neglect and starvation. Swords District Court found Rudolf Ciskos guilty of mistreating his cat and fined him €200 and court costs of €500 all payable to the DSPCA.

He was also banned from the ownership of any animal for a period of 2 years.
This is a great step forward in court proceedings in a case relating to a cat. The DSPCA is rarely successful in prosecutions around cases dealing with cats as proof of ownership is difficult to prove.
Unfortunately in this case the cat had to be euthanasied by a DSPCA Vet on humane grounds due to the severity of neglect.

Following the success of the inaugural Spiel, in which we opened up The Bottom Half of the Internet for close inspection and grasped an understanding of bitcoins, Le Cool and Pilcrow.ie return with Spiel *002 tomorrow, Tuesday, June 18th in South Studios, Dublin. (Doors 7.30pm)

This time we are talking to the legends of The Phoenix, literally. After clocking up 30 years of publishing experience, we’ve invited Paddy Prendeville and Paul Farrell of The Phoenix Magazine. Interviewing them is RTE broadcaster Colm O’Mongáin and joining them on stage will be the Rabble.ie possé. Having secured their fund:it campaign recently, they celebrated by delivering some top notch dispatches from Istanbul in recent weeks.

 

Meanwhile, there will be sausages.

mercmerc2 “I regularly find Merc W123 series and only some make the cut onto my camera for being extra-interesting. This 280CE tops the list of W123s that I’ve come across, this time on Gardiner Row near Parnell Square. The bodywork is pristine and I love the stance at the front with the lower splitter lip. I certainly wouldn’t fancy parking it around that area for too long though.”

volvovolvo2“The Volvo 440 used to be a fairly common sight on Irish roads but they’ve become especially rare, particularly the pre-facelift models like this 1993 example on Clare St {Dublin].”

stag2“Triumph’s infamous Stag was found here on Lombard Street {Dublin}. It boasted the troublesome 3.0V8 engine and had a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. I’m not sure of the year but it look like a late model, probably 1976-1978.”

“About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella’s neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasise my point…..There was no grip, it was a playful tiff. The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place. Nigella’s tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt.”
