It’s time to keep the head down here at the moment. The Anti faction are being accused of torching Kenny’s car and that, if pursued, will have sinister ramifications and there’ll be blood spilled.
Looking cynically, it’s a superb vote-shoreing maneavour by Martin given that the party’s star is on the wane.
In any event you can be assured that we’re only at the “shots fired” stage and the focus will switch off the stand-off as other fish are tossed onto the pan. Kenny would have a strong militant support so someone’s dog is pissing at the wrong lamppost.

Bullet points please, pal.
Who is for the Centre opening?
Who is against it?
Any sign of the Nationalist Party yahoos down yet?
There isn’t a huge swell of people actually for the experiment but the general vibe is that a limited allocation ought to be allowed in accordance with what the services can manage.
It’s a small town, a glorified village, but medical and educational facilities are already stretched.
The anti faction are a few business flutes contented enough with the status quo and represent, according to themselves, the business sector under the umbrella of the Community Council.
There’s no sightings as yet of far right activists but there’s phone signal via Vodafone so you’d imagine they’re having some input.
That’s a fine big school they have in Ballinamore.
It’s a Community school, there now about 6 years. It combines the old Convent, St. Felim’s boys secondary and the old vocational schools. There’s a huge catchment area stretching to Swanlinbar and Bawnboy and has approaching 1k students.

Looks like it cost a few quid anyway. The GAA club there seem to have decent facilities too.
Again a recent renovation. It’s only taken 50 years to move on from old disused railway carriages being used as dressing rooms.
They completed the redevelopment about 3/4 years ago coinciding with their return to Senior ranks and I have to say it’s a top class job.

As per RTE News… " The Gárdai in Mohill "…
I wouldn’t be holding my breath on an outcome here. Arses and mirrors come to mind.
Thurles be Jaysus!
Neither did I. I am aware of Dobson families around the area though.
There was a family of Dobsons about 1.5miles the Fenagh side of the town in the late 60’s.
Two elderly spinsters and a brother who was what we’ll say “odd”. They we’re C of I fwiw.
The summer of 64 or 65 was woeful wet and hay was hard saved. Dobsons had about a 3 acre meadow on the side of the road the benefitted from 2 middling days.
A crowd of us piled into it on the Sunday and pitched, finished and roped about 50 fine cocks of hay and buggered off with ourselves, the good deed done. Think again…
The brother came out Monday morning and burned every one of them. The anti-Sunday work rule applied obviously. The daft oul’ idiot. The cows put fucks on him in Feb/March…
