There was plenty of glamour and glitz,
On display yesterday at the Brits,
It was lovely to see,
The boys from 1D,
Recognised for their decades of hits.

I noticed something today on the Western Union’s Irish website. Poland have recently updated their flag to the same flag as Romania!/ I think it’s especially odd considering the notoriously fee-hungry service may want to give the impression they give a damn about ex-pats from either country and their, you know, national identity.
FIGHT!

Prior to the announcement of the removal of Garda recipient Oliver Connolly.
“What happened here Taoiseach is fundamentally wrong. What Garda whistleblower in their right mind would ever go near the system again given the treatment that has been meted out to this man [Maurice McCabe]?
“It is absoloutely scandalous Taoiseach what has occured here. And it’s not just about penalty points. It is about other serious issues that would make your hair stand on your back or whatever the phrase is.
“Shocking revelations of incompetence which ultimately lead to people being murdered as a result of a failure to act. Very serious stuff which [the Department of] justice has and had for quite long time but has not acted [on].”
