Martin Nolan.

He’s having quite the week.

From today’s Independent.ie

A man who viciously attacked his next-door neighbour in her garden while her elderly deaf father was inside has escaped jail on condition he pay his victim €3,000.

During the unprovoked and unexplained assault, Thomas Finn (20) repeatedly punched the woman until she lost consciousness and then started kicking her as she lay on the ground.

When the father of one was arrested, he told gardai he was going to burn the woman’s house.

…Judge Nolan said this money was not compensation but a “token of remorse.”

 

Three grand.

Three.

That train crash, now from the correct angle. Well done amateur historians in the comments section, you passed my *cough* test!

But where?

I reckon your readers will just love another ‘where is this?’ photo (probably not, they can be a cantankerous lot). I took this a couple of weeks ago and have been humming and hawing over sending it in to you guys. Feck it, today I thought I’d send it in.

Update: Sheila writes: “It’s a view out onto Lough Derg, the N Tipp side, near enough to Ballinderry village. There probably could be more lake in it, but it was the sky that caught my eye.“

Independent MEP Marian Harkin said that “Angela Merkel, having embraced Enda Kenny at the EU summit on Friday, subsequently showed this to be a ‘Judas Kiss’ when she ruled out back-dated recapitalisation of Eurozone banks”.

Speaking from the European Parliament, Harkin argued that this is “an extraordinary setback and a real kick in the teeth to our leaders who have been struggling earnestly to achieve a fair deal for Ireland”.

She added that “our banking debt of € 64 Billion – which Ireland put in place to save German, French and other European banks, as well as our own – cannot be left on the shoulders of Irish taxpayers. It is unjust, unfair and it makes the possibility of recovery virtually impossible”.
