    IRISHMAN ARRESTED AND CAUTIONED AFTER HENRY STATUE INCIDENT

    (AP- LONDON) London Metropolitan Police arrested an Irishman outside the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.
    Francis Larkin, from KIlleagh, Roscommon, Ireland staged a protest at the recently-erected statue of French footballer Thierry Henry outside the stadium which is the home ground of Arsenal FC.
    Mr Larkin wrapped an irish tricolour flag around the statue and hung a sign saying "Henry - Not Forgiven, Not Forgotten".
    The sign is believed to refer to the controversial handball incident by Henry which led to a French goal against the Republic of Ireland in November 2009.
    On Monday night, Henry made his second debut for Arsenal, scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 defeat of Leeds United.
    Mr Larkin made the news in 2009 when he protested against the Henry handball incident by soiling French bread in an Irish supermarket, for which he was charged and fined in the local district court.
    Met Spokeswoman Caroline Shrevil said that Mr Larkin was cautioned for his behaviour. "His arrest was for a breach of public order and for endangering himself, as he angered many Arsenal football fans. He is quite a character."

    And how is this story specifically relevant to Dublin?

    He's not from Dublin, nor is Thierry Henry!
