Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

UCD Student, do you have a year or any more info for the "mid 1990s.." story?
Dunk, thanks for the links.
\does anyone know any more about the student who fell to her death on October 12th 1990?
This attached link has a little more information, though nothing concrete. You have to scroll way down to find it.
I notice that the flowers are changed around her birthday - 28/12. She would have been 39 this week, 20 years since she died. She is now dead for longer than she lived, and somebody's heart is still breaking. From all such tragedy, deliver us.
