Supreme Court Judge Peter Charlton arriving at the Disclosures Tribunal in Dublin Castle in July

Further to the retirement of Nóirín O’Sullivan as Garda Commissioner.

Anon writes:

The whole dynamics of the Charleton Tribunal [investigating claims of an orchestrated smear campaign against Sgt Maurice McCabe] is now changed.

What authority has Nóirín O’Sullivan now with regard to her special investigations team [hand-picked to liaise with Charleton] and can the legal team in place to represent AGS now act for her as a civilian?

Anyone?

This afternoon.

Athy County Kildare.

Dr. Rhona Mahony, Master of the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street Dublin, giving the keynote address at the final day of the Labour Party Think-In.

Eamonn writes:

During her speech Dr. Mahony said spending money on healh eductaion would in the long term be more effective than spending money on the health system. Speaking to media afterwards she said she favoured repealing the 8th (Eight) Amendment as it was wrong to be sending women to England for terminations because of the lack of service in Ireland.

The Doggie Do

A chap and his friend ‘Icky’ discover a strange phenomenon on Nellie Lake in California. To wit, insects on the water surface responding to the sound of Icky’s voice:

The insect reacting to the shout is the Water Boatman (Corixidae). The lake has very few, if any, fish in it, so a huge population of water bugs, mostly Corixidae (from what we could see). For whatever reason, the ones that happen to be on the surface when we shout shoot forward rapidly when they hear a loud voice. The ones that are underwater don’t react at all. They don’t react to a clap. The only thing that got a reaction out of them was shouting. They seemed to prefer “Hey!” You could actually “see” the speed of sound by watching their reaction propagate across the lake.
