The Irish Times reports:

“A judge has thrown out a Revenue prosecution brought against a company owned by Independent TD Michael Lowry because a court summons was served at an out-of-date address. Judge John O’Neill ruled he was making “no order” in relation to criminal proceedings against Garuda Ltd, a refrigeration company owned by the former cabinet minister and
Independent TD for Tipperary North, which trades under the name of Streamline Enterprises.”
…
“Summons were issued by Dublin District Court on December 10th last and served by a garda at company’s accountants in Foxrock on January 16th. By then, Garuda Ltd had changed its registered office to Thurles, in Co. Tipperary but that information was not updated on the CRO’s website until January 14th.”
…
“[Ms O’Neill, for the State] said the Foxrock address had been Garuda Ltd’s registered office for 17 years, until it was changed in January. It was still their registered address on December 10th when the summonses were initially applied for, she had also said.”

Mauricio.

Lost his front right leg after being struck by a car.

Available NOW for adoption with Dublin SPCA.

His foster mum sez:

“Don’t let the fact that Mauricio missing a limb fool you into thinking he’s not as active or able as other cats – he doesn’t seem to notice it missing at all and is the most agile cat and quickest climber I’ve seen in a long time.’

“After a fantastic set last March we are delighted to welcome back Minnie and the Illywhackers [performing ‘Make Me Yours, above]for their second gig with us at the Alternative Sunday Social Club [Upstairs] in The Stag’s Head [Dame Court, Dublin] from 4.00pm. They will be playing the glorious blend of early jazz, country & blues and tunes before and after the band’s set will be provided by DJ Karl Tsigdinos. All this for a mere €8. Sure where would you get better value of a Sunday afternoon?”
