“He made it very public from the start. He put out a press release* and all of that so I didn’t have a choice.

“Ian O’Sullivan (age 18), an Irish Junior shotgun shooter has just won the World Championships in Olympic Trap (becoming Ireland’s first Olympic Clay Target World Champion)! And to add extra drama, Ian’s shotgun actually broke half-way through the final shoot-off for the gold medal and he STILL won.”

Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, Portarlington
Ireland has appointed a government official with experience at multinational companies as its new data protection commissioner to head up a body which acts as regulator to the likes of Google and Facebook outside North America.
Helen Dixon, currently the Irish Registrar of Companies, spent 11 years working with two U.S. technology firms with their European bases in Ireland, including software company Citrix Systems, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The best breakfast rolls in Portarlington are found next door, probably.
Ample parking.
Train station nearby.
Win win win.
