I know you don’t normally do this, but my mates dog ‘Bobby’ is missing in Castleknock/Carpenterstown Dublin 15 since 1pm today and am particularly worried because of this storm. He’s a Japanese Spitz with a blue collar.

From right: Kieran Fitzgerald, Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commissioner (GSOC), Carmel Foley, Commissioner GSOC, and Simon O’Brien, Chairman GSOC, arriving at the Public Service Oversight and Petitions Committee in Leinster House, Dublin today.
[GSOC]’s Simon O’Brien says the Commission investigated possible bugging under a legal clause that allows it to investigate possible offences by members of the Gardaí. However, he says he personally decided not to report the suspicions to the Minister for Justice Alan Shatter, because he did not want to suggest that Gardaí had organised the surveillance of the office. However he is clear that he believes the office was targeted.

Probably the scariest picture you will see from Limerick in the wake of Storm Darwin. Knocklisheen road. No one in van at the time.

They do have a very evocative slogan, as it happens.
As it HAPPENS.

I feel bad for Breda O’Brien. Not because of her tears but because she throws red herrings about like she’s working in a Soviet fishmongers.
