    “No shots fired in Longford today” would be more of a surprise headline…

    Same few feuding families every time in these incidents, the media pitch it like its all that happens around here . . It’s not a fare or accurate reflection of genuine Longford folk.

    @Blind Faith: in fairness, we all know who these families are, it’s just they’re names not mentioned. I’ll give ya clue, it rhymes with slevins and pokes
