Or unfair statistical analysis (see comments).

YOU decide.

The number of burglaries reported in Tallaght is large compared with the number of reports in the rest of the State, with 922 offences investigated by gardaí in the area last year.

That figure was almost 50 per cent higher than the second-worst affected area of Blanchardstown, where 628 burglary offences were recorded.

And it was close to three times the number of burglary offences recorded in Waterford station, which, at 377, was the third-highest nationally last year.

Take that, the Blanch.

Director Tony Scott, the veteran director-producer of stylish action-thrillers who with his brother Ridley Scott ran the prolific Scott Free Prods. banner, committed suicide Sunday by jumping off the Vincent Thomas Bridge near San Pedro. He was 68.
Scott, the younger of the British brothers, was known for helming such blockbusters as 1986’s “Top Gun,” 1987’s “Beverly Hills Cop II” and 1995’s “Crimson Tide.” In recent years, he had been more active as a producer of film and TV fare through Scott Free. He had long been developing a “Top Gun” sequel as a directing vehicle, as well as a drama “Emma’s War” with Kennedy/Marshall Co. His last feature helming credit was 2010 Denzel Washington starrer “Unstoppable,” and he was a producer on Ridley Scott’s high-profile summer release “Prometheus.”

18 years ago on this day, our Oisín happened to be in Ranelagh, Dublin [at the junction of Oxford Road and Charelston Road], with his trusty SLR when he came upon this scene.

The pictures, taken 20 minutes after the shooting of Martin Cahill, have never been published before.
