HERE’S SOME NEWS to put Ireland’s cyclists in a good mood for the weekend: Google Maps now allows users to find cycling directions between any two points in Ireland.
The feature has been added to Google Maps as of this evening, and aims to find the optimal cycling path between any two locations in the country.
The service has broken down Ireland’s roads and pathways into four categories – trails, roads with dedicated bicycle lanes, bicycle-friendly roads, and total no-go areas.
The data has been partially contributed by Google Maps users through the Mapmaker tool, and also incorporates details to help cyclists avoid the busiest roads.
Updates to the Google Maps app for smartphones will allow cyclists to plug in their earphones and listen to directions as they cycle.
Users have been encouraged to help Google refine the service by clicking the ‘Report a problem’ link on the Google Maps website if a road has been inappropriately marked as being friendly to cyclists, or if a route is missing.
As well as Ireland, cycling directions are now available for locations in France, Luxembourg, Germany, Poland and Liechtenstein.
All the seans will be going into the witness protection programme from today onwards!
When in doubt…. Pull it out….!
@ Alister… when in doubt wear a “rubber” she/he could have contacted an STD/AIDS…
I wonder how many coppers babies there are? Is the a way of finding out an estimate?
and have a get together for coppers offsprungs……..
It happened to a girl I know from Lucan. She “met” a stranger in Coppers toilets and 9 months later had a son. Around the same time too. hmmmmm
HIV
A guy I know who’s a guard in Dublin told me it’s a lot more common than most people would think unfortunately, as most of these women seem to contact the guards asking them for help in tracing the man they were with. He says they get one or two of these kind of requests in the station at least once or twice a month!
and your second name is Sean!!! Are we close to solving this……??!!
Poor Sean missed out on some important years, Still though, hope he’s found and there’s a good ending.
There was a happy ending. August 2003.
Yeah, this really isn’t that funny
Just wondering why now? Maybe the child is asking about the bio Dad now? I hope they find each other if only to bring it full circle for the little boy’s bio history
So that’s why Jack is the most popular boys’ name nowadays! Better than Copper Face, I suppose.
Better love story than Twilight.
Jaysus, that could have said it was Sean a little earlier in the article.
Fake moustaches selling like hotcakes up in Armagh today.
wasn’t me!
It’s all good to joke about it but I’d hate to think that a child I’d fathered is out there that I knew nothing about growing up without me.
Wouldn’t have been easy to trace each other back then – even harder now but some possible chance with social media
I wonder was the room in Bewleys booked under his name? It’s going back a while though!
Good thinking Alan Benson -
Hide Sean, she’s coming to get yea… 10yrs later….vicious…bit late..
The kid is prolly at the age he wants to know about his bio father. Might not be the mother’s own agenda at all
who dipped their willy that night in coppers? you’ll need a good memory
That good, huh?
Like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Someone s.needled got dipped in hers ya mean ahhahaha
Dunno.exact date..down for the game.went to coppers.first name Sean, ear ring,county of origin known,stick it on armagh local radio and if the man is interested…….
hmm how many Seans from Armagh booked a ticket to that match….
Like looking for a sausage in O’Connell street…
be easier to find sausage in o’connell street
Seriously though 12 years. I think she may forget about it.
Every poor bloke in Armagh named Sean is either getting battered or divorced today.
Who won, Laois or Armagh?
Armagh, it was men against boys.. One of the Laois forwards threw a punch at McGeeney out of frustration right in front of the ref and hit him on the shoulder. It was the last minute and the game well over; McGeeney tousled yer mans hair and winked at the ref. the Laois lad put his head down and walked away…broken. Remember the game vividly but not the night before.. I was in McGowans though!!
looks like a job for Jeremy Kyle
oh worse nightmare come true
Touch of the old Paul Brennans about it.
whose the daddy?,.. she has probably been banged more times then my snooze button on a Monday morning.
She did say Sean !!! Phew !
If we could line up all the coppers babies from around the time , we may be able to get a Pat Mustard type ‘baby photo compilation’ to identify Armagh Sean….
Looooolol
Dont know why people are making excuses for her. The fact is for up to 11 years she makes no effort to contact the father until now, and for 11 years some where out there a man has had no idea he was the father of a child. This man has also lost 11 years of his son’s childhood. The woman is irresponsible and selfish.
I remember her being on with Ray Darcy years ago looking for this guy so to be fair to her she did try before. However if he didn’t come forward back then it’s unlikely to happen now.
No, that was another girl called ‘Roisin’, and that encounter was in 2008 at Copper Face Jacks.
So there’s two of them on the airwaves trying to find their baby daddies…. holy jaysus !!!
I remember that one. Ray D’arcy even spoke about it. In the 2008 case, a guy did get in touch saying he believes he was the dad. So they were reunited.
€100 x 52 x 12 ……………..
Or me
I thought I was reading Waterford Whispers News.
Why does Tubridy have such long feet in that pic? They’re like skinny clown shoes.
He’s generally quite gangly isn’t he? Makes sense he’d have long skinny feet.. But those shoes just make it ridiculous.
Classy story from a classy place….
Is she from Laois or Armagh?
She’s from Laois & thinks the father was from Armagh. Wonder if they could do DNA profiling – the bio Dad may have DNA on record somewhere
Oh yeah da.old sean name.common used name in coppers hahajaj
Hope Sean from Armagh wasn’t a married Sean from Armagh that was on a stag party….. Oops
Jaysus. I’m starting to think there could be a few mini me’s running around at this point if this is such a common occurrence
Wants child support me thinks. Why wait twelve years ?? Makes no sense at all.
I bet if she found out he had no money she be like oh it wasn’t you after all.
Kid is probably asking for contact. Most kids would. Nothing suspect. Would you say no to your kid if was you?
Absolutely. 12 years on. All he did was dip his wick. The child’s real father is his step dad.
The child is probably wanting to know about his bio father I’m guessing
Im sure the kid would really appreciate you talking about his bio father like that. Kid is entitled to know who his father is and she, being the good mother she sounds like shes trying to be is putting her kids feelings first and trying to find him.
Haha. Couldn’t give a shit I don’t no them.
stupid silly woman. she waits 12 years why oh why
You have a son and…
That’s what you get for being durty.
The father would probably like to meet his son. He would have to be sure that the lady claiming to be the mother, really is the mother.
Pat Lyons, you are back in form.
You can have many fathers but only one mother.
DNA test for you Tap lol.
Since it was a Laois v. Armagh game that brought her to Coppers perhaps discreet enquiries could be made by the Armagh county board to try and trace the absent father.
A little insensitive to her partner and her sons stepdad. I know if I was her partner I’d feel let down by her.
Its about the childs feelings, not the adults. Kid is probably beginning to ask about his bio father and thats only natural. Shes doing the right thing.
If she was a decent woman she’d have found the lad when she found out she was preggers, you know when the hotel probably still had records of who booked what, when she could remember the day of the match, his name and whether he was from Armagh or Tyrone. He’s 11 her loan parents will be cut once he becomes 12… I would call it a maintenance search but in reality I think it’s all BS, Ray Darcy had a similar letter in 2008 only the baby was a girl!
I think to have any chance of this working she would have to give her name and a picture, preferably one from around that time. She announced where this “Sean” is from and his name and put all the attention on him, but won’t give any details of herself? Pointless.
Was there a Japaneses woman involved and did we all go back to your place?
Classy bird!
id swear it was baz,tap,and dermo on blueshirt manoveres stalking the dail lol kerb crawlers like enda
Isn’t that not a bus stop lol.
Nothing like unprotected sex for HIV, HEP or 80 other choice infections to parasites lol.
This is sad.
No protection? Okay nobody’s perfect.
But you never heard from the guy, he just hit and split?
I HIGHLY DOUBT he is dying to meet the child you gave birth to as a result of that.
When i read this ,,,,,that film fatal attraction came to my mind ,not saying she is a bunny boiler ,i hope things work out for her and her son ,
Seriously?
Such shenanigans at the core of Irish Catholic sporting life !
Rookie error if his was actually Sean
How many tourists visit Dublin, really?
Why has she waited this long to find him?
Is this another ad for George Hook’s erotic fiction again???
have your say
