world wide madness

Back after a bit of an enforced absence which should have been more prolonged but however!! Its summer time in Limerick and if the sun is shining here, it certainly must be also in Kilkee and Santa Ponza where half da population is. The good weather must be having some form of an effect on the locals because there is very little controversial happening around at the minute!! Anyway the Limerick Leader has some good reading this week,

Amongst other things, the City Council seems to be getting prepared for a bit of a war footing in relation to the (literally deep deep..) shite that they are in with relation to the case they recently lost to Uniform Construction. Still down City Hall way, the row over the new Mayor rages on with Fine Gael having a bit of a think about what they are going to do to Diarmuid Scully after he went against the party line and wound up beating the official party candidate.

Limerick will have a contestant in this years Rose of Tralee which if memory serves is being hosted by Ray D'arcy this year. Out the county it seems some people are getting in a bit of a huff about a website giving details of Garda speed traps throughout the county. Also, out in Abbeyfeale the Minister for Justice, Michael (mad dog/ rottweiler/mad mullah/take no crap etc) McDowell opened a new station and very nice it looks as you pass by it too. Out in Adare, i am sure they are still counting the euros after the JP love in, Pro -Am and mega auction. Quite interesting to see the amounts of money spent on the various items and of course the proceeds are all going to local worthy causes so no cynicism from this side! fair play to the man...
