Could you share this from Irish Rail? Too bad if you’re mobility impaired and need a bus or taxi out of Cork eh?! Really not cool from Irish Rail again.

Any of your readers have any opinion on the story (above). This car park was notorious for clamping cars.
Is it tough luck for people who were clamped and had to pay release fees or are they entitled to look for money back considering the car park did not have permission to operate as a commercial car park?

What is that?

We have found what we can only describe as ‘spooge’ in our back garden twice now in the last few days, wonder if your readers might know what it could be?
We live near a flight path to Dublin Airport so my wife thinks it might be from a plane maybe? She said it smelled funky but I didn’t get up close to find out :D Maybe its a fungus or eggs?
Anyone?

Today’s Irish Sun
Further to yesterday’s dramatic arrest.
Rumpole writes:
Why have most of today’s papers dispensed with any of the legal niceties usually necessary when reporting stories like this? The arrested man is a suspect in a number of crimes. As he has been charged isn’t it up to the courts to decide his guilt and wouldn’t this coverage prejudice a trial? Perhaps your learned friend Legal Coffee Drinker can put me right?

Yesterday: Arrested In Citywest
Outside the the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 1
‘Tinfoil Terry’ writes:
Considering the extensive home coverage given to the Las Vegas shootings I am surprised that no Irish media outlet has raised concerns about the many anomalies in the official story. … Broadsheet with your conspiratorial bent should have gone to town on this….
….we heard from everyone when this happened, even Fintan O’Toole gave a sermon, but not a peep now that circumstances surrounding what happened are in some doubt…Why?
Anyone?FIGHT!

I bought a pan on Debenhams.ie website for €35. It arrived with sticker £25 (which is roughly €27).
As I hate the feeling of being ripped off (only few euros, I know, but still) I am going to have to return this. Can I get priced honoured? Is there protection in cases like this?

What looks like USB chargers on the back of some seats on a new [Dublin] bus, route 122 this evening. Sweet! But not plugging in until I know more.. (worried about power surges and just paid out for a brand new phone).

Important news for everyone in Ireland who objects to paying for water. Irish Water are paying thousands of pounds per day to EY “management consultants ” from London and also paying for their hotel accommodation in the Shelbourne and Intercontinental hotels in Dublin.
Gulp.
