GARDAI HAVE ARRESTED two men in connection to 14 incidents of theft, including burglaries, thefts from vehicles, and power tools worth in excess of €40,000 stolen.
One of the men is aged in his 50s, while the other is in his twenties.
They are currently being detained at a Garda station in North Dublin.
The incidents also include thefts from vehicles and retail related crime.
A garda spokesperson said that investigations are ongoing.
great, something else to be anxious about
I’m sure someone has a pill made to solve ” this new problem”. Big pharma are making so many new drugs for conditions that don’t exist that they will fund any research to come up with crazy studies like this !!
In fairness how DO they come up with this complete and utter BS?
#Michael Roughan. You have honestly repeated your ‘Big Pharma’ hatred on every single article I’ve read in the last ten minutes.
Don’t you worry your wee head about it.
He looks like the wife is nagging him !!!
I was sure they ,d cum too that conclusion
Sperm from masturbating men produces no children
Wrong
Ivf…
Depends where they leave it!
So stressed out father is good or bad? Seems to say both!
Sure you can’t win!
The field of epi-genetics was essentially discovered as a result of pharmaceuticals studying new ways to treat cancer.
The study this article discusses wasn’t about preventing the passing on of methyl markers in progeny’s DNA, but rather, it was about how they noticed that external influences can actually alter DNA being passed on without changing the DNA structure itself.
I’m impressed
“Daddy……..daddy cooooool”!
Researchers need to be more responsible. What does this really mean, and what are the limitations of the research? Do we want fathers blaming themselves for their children who suffer from anxiety or depression, which is caused by their genes mutating? I think this topic needs much more investigation before its disseminated to the public.
I’m pretty sure the purpose of this research wasn’t to find a way to guilt trip fathers.
It just means that factors such as stress can express themselves in genes which are present in gametes by way of epigenetic markers.
Besides, this study wasn’t limited to fathers, epigenetic markers affect both sexes in the same way.
We also need to remember that the research was completed with mice. How was the stress induced? How does it compare to human stress? How was anxiety or depression established? How does this equate to humans? I’m not disputing the relevance to science- merely the applicability to humans – and the effect that a fathers sperm
may have on a humans mental health status- which is what the article seems to be inferring
How do u know if a mouse is stressed?
It will ask you for a massage?
I’m just glad to see some of the blame, er I mean responsibility for children’s traits being put on the dads as well as the mums. Every few weeks there seems to be another bit of research to say that anything a mother does / doesn’t do will negatively impact her child … Like gestating and bearing a child isn’t stressful enough!!
I still can’t believe I read that headline correctly…
What have men to be stressed about that a coffee with the boys in Avoca wouldn’t sort out ? …. Sitting there with their shades on their head at 11 in the morning relaxing
Dip the wick … Pay for the oil
You reap what you sow
I hope they used a 35yr old mouse who was heavily involved in the rat race.
have your say
