On other news: I see Bo-Jo’s master plan for a snap election running into some difficulty. Big day in HP tomorrow.
Formerly known as @ireland.com
BoJo has pressed the accelerator on the train crash that is Brexit. The only outcome I am confident of is an independent Scotland. A re-united Ireland will happen more quickly too, unless a backstop for the North only is put in place.
bisted
…agree Formerly…except…brexit will be fudged this time and the dreary status quo will be maintained in Scotland and the six counties…maybe a generation before we get this chance again I fear…
kellyma
…and that could be intentional on his part. Im sure the UK would only love to release themselves from the shackles that are the insane 6 counties of northern ireland. Be careful what you wish for……
It would be like getting your kidnapped dog back only to find out it has rabies and is going to run you up a massive bill at the vets…

If yesterday was political chaos in the UK, then today is chaos-plus-one. And that equation seems to hold true every day. Bojo in front of No 10, being drowned out by chants of “stop the coup” , not announcing an election but setting the ground for seeking election tomorrow. Two elections, three (maybe four depending on the outcome of the Oct election) prime ministers in three years. It’s like Ireland in the early 80s.
GiggidyGoo
Yep – the usual from FG. Varadkar has been told by his EU ‘mates’ that any financial implications for Ireland because of the exit of Britain from the EU will have to be paid for locally. (Now, compare that to Ireland covering the losses of the bond gamblers of France and Germany).
Yep, the EU have our backs alright.
A natural disaster called Brexit? It may be a disaster but there is most definitely nothing natural about it.

Since the story is carried on the front page of that most respected of journalistic publications, the IDM, its veracity cannot possibly be called into question.
A socialite who, along with his partner, I am fairly certain, has featured in the pages of the Indo/Sindo in former times. He was arrested Sunday and then released without charge, but a file has been sent by the Gardai to the DPP seeking a prosecution decision. Good job for him he’s not Clare Daly.
Lilly
Former partner or rather ex-wife. If her Wiki entry is anything to go by, she has airbrushed him out of her life.

So there
Lilly
I still haven’t a clue since my original hunch was wrong. Is he anyone you’d ever heard of?
Lilly
The penny finally dropped here too. What a creepy looking guy. So sorry for his one-time partner that she got mired in that. As V said, socialite my donkey. At least Gavin Lambe-whatever his name was had a bit of wit and could string a sentence together. This guy, not so much.
You’d definitely know of her. And you’d have heard of his late padre – and possibly of the fella in question because of his fondness for ammo in the bedroom.
More on the heroin arrests: ‘The Irish national arrested was once known in celebrity circles and had a high-profile partner.’ Man in his 40s apparently.
Don’t mind me, I’m only guessing – and barking up the wrong tree according to Treasa and Baz. It’s probably this dude again, although who ever heard of a socialite from de north side ;)
So Leo and Matt are having lunch with Pence today?
Here’s hoping they are more camp that a row of tents- and swish in like a couple of ‘howayas’ o/*.
Mind you he has to meet Mickey D first- a couple of hours of ethereal gaelic poetry should soften his cough.

totally agree – is Colm still throwing lavish awards for genocidal politicians?
Poor wee Thomas Kavanagh, the alleged #2 in the Dubai-based Kinahan drug trafficking organisation. The Gardai are very proud of the part they played in his conviction and jailing yesterday, but all he was convicted off was possession of a €10 pink stun gun he claimed his kid brought back from a holiday. Kavanagh wasn’t convicted for anything major to do with the DTO, drug trafficking, money laundering, murder etc, and it was just bad luck that the stun gun was found in the kitchen and not his kid’s bedroom, where two other stun guns were found.
So, Garda, if anything, this conviction was a fluke and fupp all to do with ye.

And think of the reaction if there’s going to be any reduction in production due to (cough, cough) ‘Climate Change’.
I must say I am looking forward to this film, The Laundromat, trailer above, from Netflix to be released later this month. Starring Meryl Streep, it’s a comedic take on what is a fairly dry story, the Panama Papers and how a law firm help hundreds of rich people [including Irish rich people and their political friends] to hide money.
As well as a theatrical release later this month, it will be streamed on Netflix in October.
Man On Fire
The Panama papers led to brexit.

Do explain?

Don’t expect a big payout from the EU says Varadker but less than three months ago Barnier said that Ireland would have the full support of the EU so would that not include financial support? Reading between the lines Varadker is really saying we’re getting a boat load of money but ye peasants will not see a cent of it. Into the coffers for the boys on the gravy train.

Was that fire in the shopping centre in Cork on Sunday [damages estimate €10 million] caused by an Opel Zafira? The Mirror’s new Cork website seems to think so. The “Irish” Daily Mail above also says Opel is talking to the investigators of the fire.
Just wondering whether due consideration is given by the NCT to recalls which identify such a serious risk.

Where’s the report on the PSC that the Data Protection Commissioner wanted published a fortnight ago. The Irish Times reports
“The Government will challenge the decision in court and defend the continued use of the card.

Re the Mail headline, whatever about the economic impact to businesses here, in the case of a No Deal, protecting the border will be expensive. It’s in the EU’s interest but if we can’t afford it then there’ll just have to be free for all UK access to the EU via Northern Ireland and an unprotected border. Unless the EU is prepared to pay for the secure border. Perhaps UN-type missions of European peacekeepers/tariff imposers on the entire border?
Let the shop keepers of the centre use the vacant shops on the high street at least they might make some kind of living while they wait for insurance
