Should also be an article on how the Sinners have gagged their supporters on the topic of IRA rapes, the kangaroo courts, and Jerry’s lame excuses.

A driver in Roscrea was clocked by Gardai traveling at a speed of 200kmh, 120kmh over the posted speed limit. Should be an article on that and the fact Gardai have launched a ‘Slow Down’ safety initiative, which is asking drivers to reduce their speed from 7am on Friday (October 24) to 7am on Saturday (October 25).
