In Memoriam

An event in Bray today marking the sixth anniversary of the deaths of Station Officer Brian Murray and Firefighter Mark O’Shaughnessy, both killed in the line of duty on September 26th 2007 while fighting a blaze at a disused factory.
The monument [at St Father Colohan Terrace] which was funded by fire crews from all around the country as well as Bray and Wicklow Town Councils and designed by Irish artist Ciaran Patterson, gives the impression of an axe head, half of which is buried in the ground. Resting on the axe head is a bronzed fireman’s hat, gloves and boots.
RIP

Penalty points were wiped after they were accrued by a car registered to an Independent News and Media editor.
Stephen Rae was involved in the decision to make leading journalist Gemma O’Doherty redundant in the weeks after she approached the Garda commissioner to check if he had penalty points removed from his licence.
A vehicle registered to Rae, editor-in-chief of the Irish Independent and other INM titles, accrued penalty points at 6.37am on November 5, 2009 at the N11, Belfield, Dublin before the points were terminated.….Her forcing out has brought condemnation from journalists at top British and international publications but has so far been ignored by Ireland’s leading newspapers and RTE.
