Lets be honest about it.. The elements of the State DONT WANT to find out what happened with the banking crisis... a lot of them knew about the Maple Ten group buying borrowing money from Anglo to buy it's own shares... They could incriminate themselves by uncovering the truth..

Lapin

While its gratifying to hear all this talk of putting on the 'green jersey',
I must ask -

Where were all these closet Connacht supporters when we needed them ?

JonathanAnon

Stop saying "come across".. I keep getting a mental image of it's other meaning..

Appleby always said his office was understaffed. Successive Governments refused to give him serious backing. Probably because he was getting too close to the truth.

Yeah let the spoofer public servant head off with all he is 'entitled to'..he done the usual half-assed senior public servant effort and his leaving wont make much difference in the scheme of things..

now a much more important story..there is a monument on a hill in wicklow..this is of national importance.

So what is the point of this story?

Skid

Found it

Slievecorragh Hill Wicklow County
An Sliabh Corrach A name in Irish (Language)
(Ir. An Sliabh Corrach [logainm.ie], 'the rocky/rugged mountain')
Height: 418 metres OS 1/50k Mapsheet: 56 for top
Grid Ref: N94807 04123 Latitude: 53.079598 Longitude: -6.586033
ITM: 694735 704155 Prominence: 151m Isolation: 2.9km

On the summit of Slievecorragh is one of the more curious memorials that you will find anywhere in Ireland. It is the chair that climbers of this hill have commented on. There is a man’s silver ring slipped over one of the support bars, and the name ‘Dan Clancy’ is engraved into the top of the back of the chair. The chair and the teddy are facing west over the plains of Kildare. For the walker it is an object of curiosity, and offers a comfortable seat to take a rest and enjoy the views. It is made of bronze, and someone clearly went to a lot of trouble to bring it all the way up the hill. It would have been easy to leave the hill and move on to other things and forget about the curious chair and the lonely teddy on Slievecorragh. But it stayed in my mind and I wanted to find out more.

Brilliant questions there Joe.....

"How many hills have you walked up" ?

"Which was your most memorable" ?

Whats the deal with the bear?

dulpit

Missed the very start of this bit, what's the problem with this chair?

Lapin

I just took a spin to that mountain on Google Street View and found nothing remarkable about the chair.

Found nothing at all actually

.



Joe - "Do you intend that chair to be sat upon".

Ah come on Joe FFS.

Costing the state €650,000 per year to fund its upkeep.

randy hickey

There's a lot of humping going on.

Once you've sat on that chair it's probably more impossible not to realise you've just squashed a teddy bear.

Just hope Pappa Bear doesn't catch you.


Slow day today Joe?

dvcireland

I hope one decides that the chair has scrap value

I assumed the teddy would be in bronze too.

"Did you need to get permission from anyone"
Caller:"We didn't"

Cue the planning department demanding it be taken down.

Paedophile Priests, Memorials on Mountains, rotten retirers and devastated estates.

Just an ordinary Liveline Day.
