Dublin folklorist, author and Manager of North Inner City Folklore Project/Museum Terry Fagan writes::

“This is Peadar and me, aged 16. Peadar is my best pal, he’s on the left in photo. We lived in Corporation Buildings [then on Corporation Street, now James Joyce Street, Dublin 1]. He escaped from an Industrial School in Cork and made it home. I remember a police raid on his room. We escaped out the back window five stories up. We got onto the roof top.”

Terry adds:

“He was captured by the police, who surrounded Corporation Buildings. He was sent back to the Industrial School where he was severely beaten. He made another escape after his wounds healed and he made it back home. Again he was captured. We are the only two alive who fought back.”

Waterford’s city centre to see the opening of a [JD} Wetherspoon’s opposite the City Square Shopping Centre.

The building used to be a bank, but before my time that. Looks like it may have been a cinema at one time to me… but I’m guessing.

Or something more sinister?

We may never know.

Large parts of the country were without electricity following the power cut, UK Power Networks said, with outages reported in the North West, South West, the Midlands and Wales.

The UK Power Networks tweeted on Friday evening: “We’re aware of a power cut affecting large parts of London and South East.

“We believe this is due to a failure on National Grid’s network, which is affecting our customers.”
