O'Manky's new gig
« on: November 23, 2004, 09:59:00 am »
We have certainly have had our ups and downs in the village this year what with somebody falling off the village wall, thank god not killed, and then in the wee hours of Saturday morning, a car goes into the Harbour, with a young man at the wheel, the car landed upside down and if it was not for the vigilance Mary King who alerted Sean de Courcey, Sean fair play to him pulled this man out of the car, which was nearly totally submerged in the tide and pulled him to safety, what ever way you look at it, Sean saved his life, yet again another near fatal accident, and then I suppose on the slightly humorous side and to add insult to injury, a tow truck was called out to pull the car out, now get this, the truck fell in while trying to lift the car, no donít worry there was no one in it, it was remote controlled, but the machine was not heavier enough to lift the car out, therefore, a proper professional machine had to be called in, and the job was done, no loss of life, what was interesting the amount of people that came to have a look at this task you would think we had another social event going on .
 
 I am just wondering if their had been a Garda presence could this accident have been prevented, or is it going to take a fatal accident for the powers that be to sit up and arrange for Garda Presence particular in the months of July and August, its time to fight again for a Guard, but I feel the whole community is going to have to have a strong input re this important matter this time, if we are going to improve on the villages image. Itís not all doom and gloom we have had some great events and fun for tourists and us alike.
 All the events that did take place during the summer for our visitors and locals, feed back have been very positive.

No shit!
 
 As bad as DC drivers are, generally speaking, the Irish can give them a very good run for their money....in fact. The EU, has basically told Ireland to sort it's drivers out or there'll be consequences...like Irish not being able to drive on other EU countries roads or something I suppose.
 
 It's bad alright.
