I hope everyone is having a wonderful Halloween? Following tradition, here are those lovely pumpkins (picture 1) from Smithfield [Dublin 7] again!
Also I’m living abroad so in picture 2 are some bonus pumpkins from Japan!
In fairness.
Can you name the characters in the Smithfield pumpkin picture, anyone?

Joe Brolly and Paeder Heffron
On Sunday, Joe Brolly in the Sunday Independent reported that a former PSNI Police Service of Northern Ireland] constable was ‘ostracised’ by his GAA club after joining the force.
Paeder Heffron was left in a wheelchair following a dissident republican car bomb in 2010.
Mr Heffron said he was frozen out of games by Kickhams Creggan in County Antrim and ignored by teammates, with republicans ” approaching him in a changing room and handing him a leaflet warning of the dangers of joining the PSNI”.
Shayna O Neill writes:
The PSNI have opened recruiting as of October 23 this year. The aim of the PSNI is to have a balanced force of 50/50 Catholics/Protestants, under The Patton Report – currently it’s @15-25% Catholic,depending on which figures you are given, or believe.
Growing up, we had the RUC, who seemed to have a licence to unleash some form of justice against Catholics. I’m living back in the North of Ireland for a few years now, I have to say the PSNI seem okay.
The GAA have let one of their own down. I feel ashamed that I associate and am a member of the GAA.
