You may recall Friday’s Leinster tee competition courtesy of Nutmeg clothing.

Here are the winners

I deserve the Leinster Blue to the Bone Tee because…

“…it’ll be a bit of a while before I’m able to go to another match what with the three little’uns myself and the missus are expecting soon. If they win it’ll be a star for each of them in the year they were born.” (Action Man)

“…I’ve gone to every Leinster game since they became successful.” (EBS)

“…I deserve the Blue To The Bone Tee because I live in Limerick and would most enjoy wearing it while visiting various hostelries around the town.” (Fred)

Thanks all.

NO pets, no children, no parties– if you can abide by these rules you could be the next resident of the Carlton Abbey Hotel in Athy.

The Camelot property management company is looking for five people to live in the hotel as live-in guardians. The hotel closed suddenly on 2 January.

Those selected to become live-in guardians will pay €100 per calendar month under a temporary lease agreement to live in the hotel and provide a round the clock presence on the property.

Thanks Mr Worf

A footnote to yesterday’s ‘there is no plan’ story.

Almost all of the speakers asked Mr Rabbitte if there was anything the Government could do to bring an end to what they felt was a continuous cycle of negative media coverage, particularly in national newspapers.

Mr Rabbitte is said to have replied that newspaper editors had been “called in” but that they had explained that they, too, were under business pressures. He is said to have remarked: “The more you try to influence them the worse they get”.

Stunning.
