“has been died’.

Bit harsh.

The Irish Independent’s report of the death of Eamon Kelly online at Independent.ie.

Which also includes this oddness:

An armed garda patrol on anti-crime duties in the area found Kelly lying on the ground and gave chase as the gunman attempted to flee.

 

An armed garda patrol just cruising around Clontarf?

Anyone?

Queen Herod will Find You by Queen Herod

A musical project from Dubliner Holly Pereira.

Aisling writes:

This tells the story of Queen Herod, a giant, murderous witch who lives in an isolated castle in the forest. She gathers the children from their homes and eats them. But does she eat them because she’s lonely, or is she lonely because she eats them?

Queen Herod

Track written and co-produced by Holly Pereira. Recorded and co-produced by Rian Trench. Mastered by Richard Dowling. Taken from debut EP Queen Herod, Granny Records, 2012. Video shot and edited by Holly Pereira.

Remember John Byrne and Barney the rabbit (above)?

In July of last year, homeless man John was forced to jump into the Liffey to save his pet rabbit, who had been tossed over O’Connell bridge by a teenager.

Today, Gary Kearney was sentenced to four months in jail for animal cruelty after he pleaded guilty to the charge in Dublin District Court.

Mmf.
