    Have a question for someone who is involved with the guards, or Dublin Castle. Was there recently and noticed that there was no guard there. There was one ' constable' who said he was employed by the board of works. Why then is there guards at leinster house?

    Commissioner of Public Works has responsibility for it. It's like the Phoenix Park. They usually have their own By-Laws.

    The Dail would have a police presence because of their powers.

    I used to work in Dublin Castle, people think it isn't but it's a public place. In summer we were too often serenaded at work by some Spanish student sitting in the upper yard outside the State Apartments and strumming away in a vain attempt to liberate some youngwan's knickers. Occupational hazard.

    Got paid to have a ringside seat at President McAleese's inauguration though, and as a biker myself the highlight was to watch the Blue Huzzars :)

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
