Bailey(Solicitor Frank Buttimer, Jules Thomas and Ian Bailey outside the Four Courts last year)

Frank Buttimer said he found it surprising that a file from the murder investigation identifying Mr Bailey as a suspect in the death of the French film producer cannot be found. The 39-year-old mother of one was killed at her holiday home at Toormore near Schull in west Cork, in December 1996.
“It is a cause for concern because we don’t know what it contains and we believe we are entitled to access the information for Mr Bailey’s action for damages for wrongful arrest by the State,” Mr Buttimer told The Irish Times. “As a general point, gardaí don’t lose records in murder cases or other such serious crimes – files in such cases just don’t get lost, especially in a case where the file remains open.”

I know you don’t usually do this, but I’ve had my bike stolen and its worth more to me then almost anything else in the world. I raced on it in my one international race for Ireland in Budapest in 2010…its is a Carbon Fibre Trek 5200 OCLV and is about 15 years old…it was stolen from outside Stephens Green Shopping Centre between 9.15 and 11 on Sunday 8th of December. Thank you for any help, I’m absolutely gutted to lose it.

What started out as a 2012 April Fool’s skit from Thinkgeek is now an actual thing you can nearly buy.

The Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie (€88 but currently out of stock) is a garment fitted with a speaker box, 32 LED lights and a sensor board allowing you to bust nine spells before being pummelled to the ground by concerned onlookers.
