[The recent price history of a one-bedroom flat in The Maltings apartment block (top) in John Bonham Street, Dublin]
“Come and have a look at this lovely one bed with parking on the first floor, street facing in Block A which I think is the best block to have an apt that is great for city center living or to let. This time next year it could be worth an extra €12,000″

Beware the back spin.
“RTÉ News has learned that former garda commissioner Martin Callinan wrote to the Department of Justice more than two weeks ago about the recording and retention of telephone conversations in garda stations….”
Alternatively…
“The Government spokesman said tonight that Mr Shatter only found out for the first time yesterday about the recording and retention of telephone conversations in garda stations,…”
Hmm.

[Former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan and Justice Minister Alan Shatter last year]
“I wish to pay tribute to the Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan, on his retirement from An Garda Síochána. As Commissioner and throughout his very distinguished service in the Force he has made an enormous contribution to fighting crime and I believe that this contribution will be seen as a legacy of which he can be very proud and for which the community he served are in his debt.
The high reputation of An Garda Síochána has been gained down through the years through people’s experience of dealing with members like Martin Callinan, often at times of great difficulty. I believe, at these challenging times for the Force, the men and women who serve in it will continue to enjoy the respect of the community they serve, often at great risk to themselves. I extend to him my sincere thanks for his dedication and service to the State throughout his long and distinguished career.”Justice Minister Alan Shatter today.
