Dublin Airport yesterday

Tonight.

A case of the coronavirus has been confirmed in the east of Ireland, according to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.

The patient, a male in the eastern part of the country, is currently receiving appropriate medical care, according to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.

The Centre said that the patient was identified and tested in line with established protocols for the investigation of suspect cases of Covid-19.

The case is associated with travel from an affected area in northern Italy, rather than contact with another confirmed case.

Poster for Mark’s missing phone; a Mi A2 Lite phone

Mark writes:

“I know you don’t normally do this…but I lost my phone somewhere between Cornucopia on Wicklow Street and the Games Workshop on Lower Liffey St yesterday evening (Thursday, February 27) around 6.30pm-7.30pm.

“It’s a Mi A2 Lite phone and it was in homemade white tissue cover…and it contains lots of photos of sentimental value.

“If anyone has the phone or any info on it I’m contactable on 0831001620 or my email.

“Reward is offered.”

Anyone?

Feck yer fancy Spanish storms.

Golden Discs

Behold: the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP – no ordinary G-Wagon – rather, a G63 kitted out with larger twin turbochargers (making 800bhp), a high-flow exhaust, boosted suspension and a half meter longer wheelbase to accommodate the landing pad for an onboard Wingcopter drone.

All this, and a fully customised luxury interior – yours for a mere €570,000.
