Love the snow. Just hope it doesn't delay the train I have to get to go pick up the phone I apparently just placed down on the bar and walked away from last night.

Suppose it would be rude not to have a pint seeing as they were nice enough to keep it safe for me.

Defo gonna turn into a session!!!

It's still a pox. The last one was lovely and all but I've had enough snow for this year.

I think it was a quote from the Irish Times, I htink I also saw it mentionedn on there in the article where they were discussing the developer's concerns yesterday morning, although I can't find that article now.

Their point at the time was that if he had called them they would remember it, and they had no record of it. As it turns out now the Taoiseach has changed his story, they were likely right in that regard.

Yeah, I suspect that he was at best exaggerating and at worst, making sh1t up.

It's not mentioned in any of the articles on the subject on the RTE website. The council said that there was no note of any enquiry or submission on the part of the [then] minister on the planniing file. That should be the case if it happened. There's a specific section on planning files for representations made by politicians.

The council never said an email to Failte Ireland was very uncommon. They said a phone call to them was, yesterday morning.

But the Taoiseach's story was not that he sent an email to Failte Ireland. The story has since changed. He says he didn't remember it right.

Where did they say this?

I'll tell you an anecdote. In 1974 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded; I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat beside a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies; buckaroo! I looked up and saw it was none other than Peter Purves, it was the height of his Blue Peter fame. He said, "You jammy bastard" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue, Peter!" Needless to say, I had the last laugh, now **** off!
