Two excellent pieces of detective work on boards.ie in recent days...

Biggest lickspittle on boardz

The first is by the user Shield, who noted that there was some unusual irregularities by the girl claiming that she was attacked for wearing a Hijab. See the thread here:

https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057829626

The girl has since been found to have lied through her fcuking teeth no credibility, and Police said the incident did not happen.

The second was the user Marty Bird, who highlighted the BT Young Scientist award winner and the suspicious involvement of a parent:

I tip my hat to your observation skills. Two good catches in recent days. Boards.ie needs more of these informative posts.



EDIT: Make that three. I am informed that our boards sleuths helped track down a courier van that had caused damage to a parked car: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057829909

Good work, lads and lassies!

Re that one, organisers have said that the documentation acknowledged all the assistance including use ofa 3rd level lab facility as is common (they said) for competitors and that over several interviews he knew his stuff. Of course he got help but it'sabig step to imply it was his mum's project .

But isn't another good bit of detective work, the locating of the the courier van that damaged OP's car and drove off?

His Mum has been involved in very similar studies, as far back as 2007 and as recently as a couple of years ago. Anyway that's for that thread, what's the courier van thread? Sounds like another good one.

Edit: I see Dougal has posted it.

To instantly be called a conspiracy theorist by self-congratulating morons since everyone knows no conspiracy has ever happened in the history of the world.

Duly noted. I have updated the OP to reflect the third case.

I chose it as a sarcastic nod towards users who fall over themselves to brown nose and thank Mod posts at every opportunity. They know who they are...

Ehh the primary judge in that category, the one quoted, was former head of department in UCC, which it appears had involvement in "his project".

His mother was involved in the exact same research in 2007, although she used different plants.

A WILD flower growing in West Cork could hold the key to wiping out the deadly superbug MRSA, it has emerged.
MRSA faces defeat from wild flower

Researchers at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) have revealed the bright yellow flower known as inula helenium kills the lethal bug, which is resistant to some of the strongest antibiotics on the market.

Inula helenium is a tall plant which grows wild in west Cork and blossoms in late summer. It’s one of two herbs involved in a €35,000 research project carried out at CIT. The other, pulsatilla vulgaris, also proved highly effective against the potentially fatal MRSA bug.

Extracts from both plants were tested against a group of 300 staphylococci including MRSA and inula helenium proved 100% effective against the superbug.

The trials were carried out by postgraduate student Susan O’Shea of CIT’s biological sciences department as part of a two-year research project, under the supervision of Dr Brigid Lucey, a senior medical scientist with the microbiology department of Cork University Hospital and Dr Lesley Cotter, a lecturer in biomedical sciences at CIT.

And that thread is now locked because it might actually be getting a little too close to the bone as BT have started throwing their PR people out to attack the rumours.

I think the OP that raised this has done a great service to Irish education because they have highlighted how skewed the Young Scientist competition now has become and what a farce it now really is.

If anything their efforts may have already caused a change in the rules for the competition and forced a level playing field for all.

That doesn't count because you didn't start a thread about them and ask for other's opinions.

If any of ye are free Friday night, I wouldn't mind solving the mystery around Dyatlov Pass incident.

And if time permits, we might as well get that damned Kennedy assassination cleared up too.
