Ms Noone said she has been contacted by parents who claim ice cream vans visit their estates up to five times per day. The Dublin senator said she believes the “pester power” of these vans are adding to the issue of child obesity.

I used to live in a place in North Dublin once upon a time, the ice cream truck would call in twice a day, without fail. Now you’re thinking to yourself, “twice a day you say, that doesn’t seem excessive?” and you’d be right. Only for the fact that it would arrive any time of the year, day after day without fail, hail rain or snow, coldest December, or rainiest February, this fella came without fail.
He was definitely selling drugs.
Senator Noone may change her mind if she thought they were selling slimming pills.

Pat Horgan. http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/hurling/horgan-gaa-rule-move-was-to-stop-cork-272196.html
Patrick Horgan believes GAA authorities were out to stop Cork with their new rule interpretation for penalties and 20 metre frees.
It was the 2-11 scoring hero — not Anthony Nash — who fired to the net a free just outside the 20m line and then a second-half penalty to effectively end Clare’s stake in yesterday’s Munster semi-final.
Coming just a day after a new guideline was enforced barring Nash from advancing past the 20m line, Horgan was delighted to silence Cork’s detractors.
“To be fair, they brought it in because of Nash, which I thought was highly unfair. It’s just like anything to stop us — that’s what it looks like. Sure, we proved them wrong today but it might be different the next day.
“They’re really hard to take and if the ball goes over the (20m) line by an inch, it’s a throw-in ball, which is crazy. We have to forget about that now because we mightn’t get any for the rest of the year. We’ll drive on now.”
Horgan hadn’t discussed close range freetaking duties with Nash, admitting the first time he sized up the new penalty rule was when he stepped up to take it.
“I didn’t know how far to put it back from the 21 (yard line). When I got it out there it was the first time I practised it. I just had a guess at how far back to put it really, it went in and I was lucky with that.
“No, we don’t care who puts the ball in the net or over the bar as long as we all go together. If Nash had come up I know he’d still have broken the net. It depends on how you feel on the day.
“Next day, he might come up and do the same as he always does. It’s one of them things. We’re both able to hit it.”
Horgan had a similar free outside the 20m line earlier in the first half but sent it over the bar. He mishit it.
“The first one I don’t know what I was doing, really. I picked the spot and I hit it as hard as I could but I hit it with the wrong part of the hurley and it went over.
“The other ones, I said I’d go for them. The first one, it was something I just felt and I went for the near post and I was lucky enough it went in. The last one was a penalty so I have to go for it. It’s luck, really, because the boys on the line can see it coming from a good distance so you have to be lucky with it and put it in the right place.”
Away from frees, Cork had Clare’s number in the duel stakes although manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy joked about getting his match-ups spot on.
The Cork boss said: “I get a lot of slagging about not being a tactical genius. I never claim to be but I think if your players are focused on the game you try to target players on the opposition team who might match up with your players. Our players certainly did that today.”
He acknowledged the couple of games had raised Cork a level. “It certainly was a factor. Playing against Waterford certainly brought us on, our performances before that were poor, while that was a brilliant performance last Sunday. I thought match sharpness stood to us today.”
Onwards now to an historic day at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on July 13, when Horgan will have a chance to make amends after his harsh sending off against Limerick in last year’s final.
“The same as when we played Clare today, they beat us in an All-Ireland final last year. You can get hot-headed but it won’t make you play any better. You just have to keep calm and do the right thing on the ball. “I think we did that today and showed how good we were. The game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh is going to be unbelievable for us, it’s going to be the last one there and we’re looking forward to that.”
