The truth behind Cowangate.

on Saturday Night with Miriam…

Actor and entertainer Rory Cowan will join Miriam to discuss quitting Mrs. Brown’s Boys. Shows like this only come around once in a lifetime and he will discuss the real reasons behind sensationally leaving the award-winning show. Hotelier supreme Francis Brennan and participants on his new travel series – Fr Richard Geoghegan, Brian Whitney and Laura Hayes – will be in studio to talk about touring Vietnam together.

*hides remote*

Saturday Night with Miriam at 9:45pm on RTÉ One.

You Cannot Be Serious.

At Stratford Lawn Tennis Club, Grosvenor Square, Rathmines, Dublin 6 on Sunday July 23 at 2.30pm.

All proceeds will benefit “the preservation of our historic grass courts”.

Pat O’Mahony writes:

You Cannot be Serious is a comic re-staging of the greatest grass court rivalry of the modern era, starring Gift Grub’s Marion Rosenstock as Bjorn Borg versus Apres Match’s Gary Cooke as John McEnroe…

There’ll also be more serious exhibition games, including between two of Ireland’s greatest players of recent times, Conor Niland and James Cluskey, with more names to be confirmed shortly.

Plus family-fun tennis and complimentary prosecco, strawberries and cream.

Tickets €20 available here

Yesterday: Broadsheet Trailer Park: Borg/McEnroe

Paul Murphy TD, of Solidarity, in Leinster House as Joan Burton TD, of the Labour Party speaks to the media on the Dáil plinth after Tuesday’s budgetary oversight committee

…. Confidence in the Garda Siochána is not an optional extra. It is the bedrock of public compliance and a properly functioning society. As a succession of scandals wash over the force, it is essential the public are assured that when gardaí give evidence in court, they speak nothing but the truth in accordance with their best recollection of sometimes fraught situations.

A Garda statement, saying a senior officer was conducting a review of organisational practices and policies arising out of Jobstown and “other issues of note”, may also have created the misleading impression that it would include evidence given in court. The Garda Commissioner made clear yesterday that this was not the case. A full Gsoc investigation is needed and Paul Murphy, if he is serious about anything other than crass political advantage, could usefully seek it.
