Earlier: To Cut A Long Story Short

A demonstration against SNA cuts from March 2010 when Fine Gael and Labour were in opposition.
All the gang’s there; Bottler, Enda, Hayeser, James Bannon, Eamon, even Willie Penrose.
They even had a Private Members Motion put forward by Brian Hayes.

He simply can’t help himself.
All the money so far provided from a funding boost for autism services announced by Minister for Health James Reilly last year has been spent on cutting waiting lists for children with the condition in his political heartland in north Dublin, newly released documents show.
Just €300,000 of the €3 million promised over three years by Dr Reilly in January 2012 has so far been allocated, all of it to north Dublin, according to the documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
Dr Reilly’s announcement in January 2012 of an additional €3 million in funding for children with autism appears to have taken his own officials by surprise, the documents show. One told a colleague in an internal email that it was “news to me” while another referred to the matter as coming “out of the blue”.
All the money.

Meanwhile, why does Dr Reilly’s personal website reilly.ie forward to the Department of Health’s site?
Anyone?
Any excuse

On Thursday night, a group of delivery men in China’s Zhejiang province caught a toddler who fell from the window of a fifth floor apartment, having crawled out after waking from a nap.
Coming together in a ‘human safety net’ to cushion the two and a half year-old’s fall, BBC News Asia reports, two of the men suffered impact injuries to their arms. The little girl, named Qiqi, survived with just a minor wound on her face.
