Two employees of the Passport Office have been arrested as part of an investigation into passport fraud.

It follows investigations by the Department of Foreign Affairs and gardaí.

The Passport Office launched an investigation in May after internal checks revealed irregularities regarding two passports that were being issued.

Superfan devotion or elaborate Garda sting operation?

YOU decide.

After the verdict in the Trayvon Martin trial was announced Saturday night, many Bruce Springsteen fans felt Bruce would play “American Skin (41 Shots)” at his next show, Tuesday in Limerick, Ireland. They were right.

According to my friend Lauren from New Jersey who was there, Bruce saw a sign earlier in the show for “American Skin” and played it later on.

“He said, ‘Where is that sign?’ and grabbed it.

He then said, ‘I want to send this one out as a letter back home. For justice for Trayvon Martin,’ “
