Behold the 1965 Ford GT Competition Prototype – the car that preceded (and laid the foundations for) the Ferrari-beating, Le Mans dominating GT40.
Twelve of these historic prototypes were built, seven raced at Le Mans between 1964 and 1966 including this one – GT/109 – the only roadster version and one of only four surviving examples.
Fully Concours restored and currently accepting bids.
Graham Dwyer
This morning.
In the High Court.
Graham Dwyer – who was sentenced to life in prison in March 2015 for murdering Elaine O’Hara in August 2012 and who is appealing his conviction – won a legal action against the Garda Commissioner and the State over data from mobile phones.
He claimed data gathered from his phone should not have been used at his 2015 trial at the Central Criminal Court.
Newstalk reports:
“The data formed a huge part of the trial but Dwyer argued it shouldn’t have been used as it breached his rights.
“The data placed the phone at a specific place at a particular time – however Dwyer, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2015, claimed the use of the data was unconstitutional.
“Gardaí gathered the information using laws that were brought in under a European directive. However the directive was later declared invalid by the European Court of Justice.
“The High Court today ruled that Irish laws – which allow for mobile phone data to be retained and accessed – are in breach of EU law.”
Meanwhile…
TJ McIntyre, law lecturer in University College Dublin and chair of Digital Rights Ireland, has tweeted:

Custom House and Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and Run Logic in Temple Bar, Dublin
Next Wednesday, December 12.
At 6.15pm.
The Dublin Running Meet Up Group – a group of recreational runners who go for 30 minute to hour-long post-works jogs – will be meeting up for a 10km jog around the city to see the capital’s lights before having a burger.
They’ll start from the shop Run Logic at 3-4 Smock Alley Court, Essex Street West, Temple Bar, Dublin 2.
They write:
“Dublin City Council has decorated 13 buildings in and around the city centre, including four bridges. We will be running from the shop taking in the sights on this elaborate tour of Dublin, stopping at locations for photo opportunities.
“We will also be able to loop through town via the bridges – reaching as far as the East Link Bridge and back to Temple Bar.
“Closing out the night we will go for burgers at WOW on the quays.”
“We warm gear, high viz safety gear and a big smile!”
