“The evidence tells us that our frozen burger supplier, Silvercrest, used meat in our products that did not come from the list of approved suppliers we gave them.

Nor was the meat from the UK or Ireland, despite our instruction that only beef from the UK and Ireland should be used in our frozen beef burgers.

Consequently we have decided not to take products from that supplier in future.

We took that decision with regret but the breach of trust is simply too great.”

Tim Smith, Tesco Group Technical Director.

Over to you, Mr Goodman.

Tesco: Burger Supplier Used Meat Not From Approved suppliers (ITV)

 

Independent TD Clare Daly confirmed she drank a “hot whiskey” before she was arrested on Monday night after performing an illegal turn on a south Dublin road.

Results of a sample she gave at the station are awaited. She told RTÉ she was a little surprised that information had been “released” without charges having been brought or confirmation obtained that she was over the limit.

Ms Daly played a prominent role in a recent campaign for a public inquiry into allegations of corruption in the removal of penalty points from driving licences.

Hmm.

Just…hmm.

My pal [Mark Kelly] videoed this guy driving off with a clamp on the wheel of his BMW in Ranelagh, Dublin, yesterday.

Mark Kelly adds:

I initially stopped while he was in traffic assuming he didn’t realise coz he was oldish.. However, he told me ‘feck the clampers, they can go to hell’ as he drove off down Ranelagh main street been perused by them. Pretty good driving until the road started to curve and he started driving straight ahead towards the footpath!

At least he tried, goddammit.

A love letter to Dublin in 9,000 photos.

By Paris-born, Dublin-based Matthieu Chardon.

He loves it here.

Says Matthieu:

“This video is a celebration of how beautiful and interesting Dublin is through my eyes. At the end it shows only 1% of the city atmosphere but at least I hope it will give you emotions. It was quite tough to shoot particularly at night, and with hours of walking in the cold and windy Howth hills, but still wonderfull. Thanks to Lise who helped me to stay warm.”

 

Shot during November 2012; 52 hours shooting. 47 hours editing,
