Friday Fun - News in Brief
Friday Fun's News in Brief has returned! Oh yeah baby! Huh? What do you mean you never noticed it in the first place? Lousy ungrateful...
Anyhow, here's a brief summary of what's been in the news...
A Co Clare councillor has said rural dwellers should be excused from drink-driving. Fianna Fáil Councillor Flan Garvey said people who visit pubs as their only social outlet are familiar with local roads and drive more carefully and slowly, especially when they have had a few drinks.
Janey Mac. Only in Ireland would someone offer up a solution for drink-driving which involves criticising the law itself rather than the actual alcohol consumed. Who knew boggers were so attached to the drink?
In other news Model Sophie Anderton and former It girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson are fighting over a lucrative modelling contract. Both girls want to get their teeth into the £50,000 (€72,500) job for whitening firm Teethwhite.
It remains to be seen whether this tactic will pay off but insiders say a dark horse for the teeth-whitening contract is this guy.
And now briefly, some images of the week...
As preparations get underway for the neutral St Patrick's Day parade in Belfast, one Irishman plans to openly flout the parade rules...
As George Galloway settles into the Big Brother House, three men gleefully look forward to seeing him voted out first...
And finally, Dermot Ahern finally unveils his Plan B to deal with the parties in the North if they aren't willing to deal...
So there you have it folks. The news in brief.
