“So who left their cable ties behind at Kelly’s Corner [at the junction of Harrington Street, Harcourt Road, Upper Camden Street and South Richmond Street Dublin]?”

Yesterday: The Ties That Bind
The first TUV councillor to be elected to Belfast City Council has apologised for sectarian comments she made about Catholics on Facebook.
However, Jolene Bunting (21) said she does not regret their content.
“I wrote them in the wrong. I’ve matured since then and I realise now that ranting on Facebook isn’t going to change anything. The council chamber is where I will be voicing my concerns,” she said.
“I do want to apologise for the innocent people in the Court ward who I offended with by using the word Catholic when I meant republicans,” she said.
“At the time I was young and not a member of the TUV and I know that since then I have matured in my knowledge and understanding.”
Fenian bastards not Catholic bastards then.
What about the asylum seekers/Eastern Europeans/travellers/hairdressers?

‘This is not a just show about mental health; it is really about life and what goes on inside everyone’s’ heads.’
Gulp.
Broadsheet ricksmith John Moynes is among a cast of entertainers performing – at the lovely Smock Alley Theatre (Lower Exchange Street, Dublin) – “Voices for Mental Health” a variety show aiming to make you laugh, smile wryly AND “encourage the discussion of mental health.”
