Ahead of today’s 6 Nations Championship game between England and Ireland at Twickenham, Tom McGurk gives us a history lesson.
“It was here in College Park that the oval football was first kicked through the 19th century Irish twilight. Trinity College founded in 1854 is the oldest surviving working club in the world. This was the birthplace of Irish rugby football. So, once again, this evening, the red rose and shamrocks will square up.”

[A letter dated December 17, 2012 from the assistant secretary at the Department of Justice to Garda whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe cc-ed to Enda Kenny and Leo Varadkar]
Stick that up your junta.
UPDATE:
On Drivetime, presenter Mary Wilson played a clip from an interview RTÉ’s Teresa Mannion had with Enda Kenny in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, earlier today.
Enda Kenny: “I’ve received information in the last two days which contains grave allegations, as I’ve said. Now I have to take time to read and examine that properly. I responded to Deputy Micheal Martin yesterday for his having presented me with this documentation. And I’ve asked if there’s any further information that he has, or documentation, because it appears as if it’s incomplete.”
Teresa Mannion: “And Taoiseach, this was the first time you laid eyes on this sort of information?”
Kenny: “That documentation was presented to me on Wednesday night. And, as I said publically, there are serious allegations in there. We need to follow up properly, carefully and in a considerate fashion.”
Mannion: “But the Justice Minister had this information for two years and nothing was done with it.”
Kenny: “The minister has ordered a review now of all of the correspondence between his department and the whistleblower – the minister will deal with that.”
