So I was looking for something at home last night and I came across this photo of my brother, sister and myself [taken 1985 or 1986 on Shamrock Place off the North Strand Road, Dublin 3] .. We noticed this morning something strange in the background dressed in white and red…
AGGGGHHHHHHHH!!
Anyone?

The new modular housing development for homeless families being built near IKEA in Ballymun, Dublin.
John Lawrence writes:
One builder I spoke to commented it would be at least another month before all 22 temporary homes, (costing €4.2m), are completed.
If this is true, it’s a long way from the December 21, 2015 “ready for occupation” date cited in a press release by Dublin City Council – notwithstanding a local row that halted development there for a few days.
It would also be interesting to know how will the Dublin Region Homeless Executive select which families live there, given there are many hundreds of homeless families now in the capital?
Anyone?

A newsletter from Independent TD Eamonn Maloney distributed in Dublin South West
Gavan Reilly reports on Today FM:
“It’s emerged that some Dáil ‘quotes’ appearing on a TD’s constituency newsletter were never actually said.”
“Independent TD Eamonn Maloney’s newsletter contains four quotes from Dáil debates – only two of which actually appear on the records of the house.”
“…When Today FM inquired with Deputy Maloney’s office about the other two quotes, a representative insisted – twice – that the comments presented the newsletter WERE spoken in the chamber.”
“The official also supplied Today FM with dates on which the other two comments had been delivered in the Dáil.”
“However, when the Dáil records were checked, they showed that not only had Maloney not delivered those comments on those dates, he had not in fact spoken in the house at all on either date.”
Eek.
