Recognise this.

I am trying to find the owner of a very nice Samsung phone that was found outside my workplace on Lower Hatch Street [Dublin 2 ] on Sunday night/Monday morning. It’s locked, so I can’t contact anyone on it to find an owner. We’ve had it on all week, but nobody has called it. There is a missed call on it from someone named Joyce, though. It’s off now as I tried to use the IMEI to contact Vodafone and get them to contact the owner (they weren’t very helpful).

If nobody claims it by the end of the week, I’ll hand it in to Pearse St Garda Station. I’m sure someone is missing it, though! It has a message saying ‘Cougar Baby’ above the unlock screen when it turns on, but the missed calls block that.

Anyone?

UPDATE: Owner located!

Several people living with dementia explain what they think is important to them as Ireland’s first National Dementia Strategy is published today.

The strategy includes an investment of €27.5million and a roll out of home services.

Some 48,000 people and 50,000 carers live with dementia in Ireland. Of that 48,000 – 4,000 are under the age of 65.

The Alzheimer Association of Ireland believes this figure of 48,000 will rise to 68,216 by 2021 and to 132,000 by 2041.

How many?
