Please watch this clip. Ireland should be ashamed at what happened to this hardworking young man Josip Strok. Shame on our justice dept & gov. These gangs have no fear of the law & nothing to offer society. This was murder. Simon Harris TD Helen McEntee TD

Inspired by Cillian Murphy’s Desert Island discs, I listened to Trains, Boats and Planes by the FrankandWalters today. I bought it on vinyl in 93 and played it on a loop for months. I’ve not heard it in full for ages but it’s still great - full of joy and without a single bad tune.
A bit late to this clearly but it's hard not to love Gary Gannon TD for his role in this exchange... impossible, really.
