Rag Week has been cancelled in Galway over last year’s shenanigans.

Instead, the students have organised Donegal Day.

RTÉ reports solemnly:

“Gardaí have said there is a highly visible policing presence in Galway today, with hundreds of students expected to converge on the city centre for “Donegal Day”.

…

“Students queued to enter one city centre pub this morning and a large number of young people are walking around the city wearing Donegal GAA jerseys.”

 

“Gardaí are monitoring the situation and conducting spot-checks on licensed premises.”

Boo.

The Irish Nationwide has its branding stripped from the bankrupt society’s O’Connell Street, Dublin, branch this afternoon.

This is Tom. He went missing today [Tuesday] around the Rotunda hospital/O’Connell Street [Dublin] area. He has advanced Parkinsons Disease and Lewy body dementia. Would be grateful If people could keep an eye out for him.

Update: Mick writes: “Reunited and it feels so good. Tom turned up at Centra at the Five Lamps. A fair old wander so it was.”

“Respect your elders: Simone Rocha pays tribute to her Irish and Chinese grandmothers.”

 

Not in those ‘barely there’ wellies, we won’t, young missy.

Fair play though.
