There were 48 victims also in a fire in Dromcollogher, Co Limerick in 1926. The then Minister for Home Affairs (Justine), Kevin O’Higgins, was asked at the funerals whether there be an inquiry. He replied “that is not in contemplation”. There was no inquiry.

The condition in which asylum seekers are living on the streets of Dublin is beyond appalling. The former Jury’s hotel nearby is vacant. The US embassy has acquired the site but surely they could delay taking it over. What about Farmleigh House in the Phoenix Park?

I worked with Siun Ni Rathalaigh for many years on The Sunday Tribune. She is a person of integrity and competence, incapable of deliberately misleading anybody. RTÉ needed her and will greatly miss her.

On what basis was Gerard Hutch charged with murder before Jonathan Dowdall decided to become a prosecution witness?

Ian Lumley Gavin Ó Dálaigh PhD 🌍🔥 🍉 Bord Bia - The Irish Food Board Ah is this the same Ian Lumley of An Taisce fame, who’s illegally evicting people from homes in this thread??
