I found this bike unlocked (abandoned?) in the Drumcondra region of Dublin on Sunday. If anyone can let me know where they left it and the bike’s serial number I’d be eager to reunite it with the owner.
Anyone?
UPDATE: Owner located. Thanks all.

Garda Keith Harrison and Marissa Simms
The Disclosures Tribunal resumed on Monday in Dublin Castle.
This section of the tribunal does not pertain to Sgt Maurice McCabe but, instead, to Garda Keith Harrison.
Readers will recall how Garda Harrison, who was previously stationed in Athlone, claims he first raised his suspicions that a garda was involved in the distribution of drugs in Athlone in November 2008 but that nothing happened on foot of making his suspicions known.
Garda Harrison later arrested this same garda for drink-driving in June 2009 and claims his working life has been made difficult ever since.
This section of the tribunal is expected to run until around October 3.
Specifically, Supreme Court judge Peter Charleton, who is overseeing the proceedings, is currently tasked with investigating the tribunal’s term of reference ’n’ – which is “to investigate contacts between members of An Garda Siochana and TUSLA in relation to Garda Keith Harrison”.
This arises out of a visit made by social worker Donna McTeague to Garda Harrison and his partner’s home in Donegal in which Ms McTeague spoke with the children in the home in early 2014.
According to the tribunal’s opening statement, Garda Harrision and his partner claim that this visit had “profound effects” on them both.

European Parliament Brexit Co-ordinator, Guy Verhofstadt meets Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister of State for Mental Health European Affairs, Helen McEntee…
Ahead of a joint sitting of the Oireachtas Committees on European Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, where Mr Verhofstadt said he wanted to deliver a “message of solidarity” with the Irish people.
“What we will never allow is that Ireland will suffer from the British decision to leave the EU,” he said.
“That is a commitment that has been made by the European parliament and by the EU as a whole.”
He also said the EU must also ensure that there is no return to the past, and to hard borders on our continent “and certainly not to a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic,” he added.
