At around 9pm this evening, I (stupidly) left my black Michael Kors bag (as above) in the basket of a Dublin Bike on Barrow Street [Dublin 4[. I hopped off and made a phone call, walked about 50 meters before turning and legging it back – but the bag was gone, nowhere to be seen.
It has a lot of personal items in it, my wallet, cards, keys, sunglasses etc…if anyone had any information on this or saw anything I would really really appreciate hearing from them.
Anyone?
UPDATE: Bag returned (see comments).

Roger Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnell, Co Dublin
Early, possibly ill advised,livestock shooting sniper training for young tykes at an open day hosted by the Irish Defence Forces to mark the 100th anniversary of Roger Casement’s death.
Because nothing says ‘remembrance’ like getting your mitts around a .338 7.62mm ‘widow maker’, in fairness.

This is a 1.35-minute clip of the 1985 Today Tonight documentary Law and Order in Donegal [broadcast on November 13, 1985].
Donegal County Council sued RTÉ for defamation as a result of airing the documentary dealing with the inappropriate relationship between Donegal [County] Council and the Garda, plus some.
The resulting suit saw RTÉ removing it, on the steps of the High Court.
The importance of this documentary, in relation to the Mary Boyle case and Gemma O’Doherty’s documentary Mary Boyle – The Untold Story, is that it establishes the cultural and systematic relationship of political interference in Donegal, a major component argued in The Untold documentary; wholesale denied by current politicians today.
Meanwhile…
