Dublin City Council is investigating the circumstances surrounding the demolition of the former home of a 1916 leader. O'Rahilly House, at 40 Herbert Park in Ballsbridge, was bulldozed early this morning to make way for luxury apartments.https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2020/0929/1168260-orahilly-house-dublin/ But if you or I try to build a shed or garden wall, they send the storm troopers around.

All in sundry from FFG along with supreme judges, bankers, the media, an EU Commissioner, banking lobbyists and with AGS looking on, all breaking bread and having a right angle nights craic, ignoring covid restrictions they put in place. Then we have Darcy this week, jumping ship. Anyone thinking they're all in the one big cosy gang is obviously a feckin eegit.

Former Fine Gael councillor Hugh McElvaney has been found to have breached ethics laws for public representatives, after he was recorded asking for “loads of money” in return for assistance securing planning permission for a wind farm project from Monaghan County Council.

Francie says Gerry Adams was not in the IRA Francie says he doesn't know nor care if he was or not. Francie says that the PSNI are most likely to have robbed the Northern Bank. Francie said no such thing, yet another lie. Francie says that Slab Murphy is a good republican. Nor did Francie say this. Another lie. Francie says that partition planted bombs and killed people. Blanch lying/misrepresenting again. All of the above statements fit in the same category. P.S. Some of the above involved paraphrasing before Francie asks for direct relevant quotes.
