Who came up with the number plate on the Garda car on ITV's "Unforgotten" last night. Doubt if there are many 79C's in the fleet, even in West Cork!

The ideal Christmas gift for the person in your life who likes exploring graveyards, old ruins, battlefields or monuments, a book on local history, just like this one, to which I was lucky to contribute an article

Following on from the General Election, newly elected TD Ken O'Flynn has his father Noel O'Flynn replace him as a Cork City Councillor by co-option. O'Flynn Snr retired from politics in 2011. Great to know that the good old FF stroke politice is still alive in Independent Ireland!
