Zero Fox Given

‘sup?

This morning.

Via Ken Foxe (!) in the irish Examiner:

Leinster House was urged to keep the windows of its offices closed at night because of a rogue fox that had urinated in the neighbouring Department of the Taoiseach.

Exterminator reports said that foxes were coming to feed on food debris from skips in an area called the Fisheries Yard of the Oireachtas buildings. A “strong smell” of fox urine was noted at the site with advice given for the skips to be tightly closed off and for the area to be thoroughly washed down.

The inspection report said it was especially important that all windows would be kept shut in the evening as this “presented easy access for unwanted pests”. “A fox was noted in a neighbouring property [Government Buildings] only recently and urinated all over an office,” it said.

        Honestly, I really can’t fathom how a professional news outlet like the Irish Examiner published this.

        Have we gone completely mad as a society?

        An actual bonafide human person was paid actual money to write an article about an animal urinating.

        What would our ancestors think of us?

        Anyway, In other news, my little b”@Oxs of a cat won’t stop farting.

        Here’s Tom with the weather…

    Martin obviously did it himself. Probably just too lazy and had a slash behind the curtains after a couple of jars at lunchtime. We’ve all done it. It’s no big deal.
    Someone comes into the office and are like “what’s that smell?”
    and you’re like “oh a fox got in and did a piss all over the place last night. Feckin foxes wha?”
    and they’re like “oh right, the piss foxes…. again…. I see”

    It would be a really political story if a homeless man successfully intruded into the Department of the Taoiseach and deposited a calling card on the floor.

    Only one¿?
    Shur there has to be a reasonable sized Fox pop
    ◑﹏◐ ‘ulation around D2 in fairness

    Stephen’s Green plus the Squares, Fitz and Merrion on their own must house a few colonies of Foxes

    TBH
    I reckon there’s all sorts of local wildlife in the place
    Mice, Squirrels, Rats, Bats and Birdies
