I know its quiet but Brehanys article today was pure scutter
I read the first two paragraphs of the feature on Brian ‘The Pikeman’ Moore in today’s People.
Littered with typos. WTF fuck is going on there? The standard of writing and editing has gone to the dog’s (intentional).
Also, the train crash occurred in 1975 yet the headline runs with the 30th anniversary. My ma was on that train by the way.
Funny that some of these cunts who are such critics of other people are actually shit at their own jobs.
What has happened my beloved Post? How did Rupert allow this? Or has love made him go soft?
The controversial “poor door” at a luxury Lincoln Square tower is finally open — and creating New York-style financial apartheid.
Tenants who were chosen to live in one of the 55 low-income units in Extell’s ritzy 33-story building recently started trickling in through the poor door — and many are disturbed by the glaring disparities.
“The thing I don’t like most is we don’t have the same amenities,” said Christina Figueras, 27, a single mother of two.
Though Figueras “feels lucky” to have landed her two-bedroom $1,082-per-month pad after moving from an upper Manhattan housing project, she said cash-poor tenants have no dishwashers, doormen or light fixtures in bedrooms and living rooms.
Renters on the “poor” side — units of which start at $833 for a studio without river views — have access only to a bike-storage closet, an unfinished laundry room and a common space that faces a courtyard they’re not allowed to enter.
Their well-heeled neighbors — in 219 river-view condos starting at $1.3 million — have use of two gyms, a pool, a movie theater, a bowling alley, 24/7 doormen and a lavish lobby with a hand-blown glass chandelier.

They can also traipse around the courtyard, which opens only to the “rich” side of the building.
The rich and poor not only have separate entrances, on Riverside Boulevard and West 62nd Street, respectively, they have different addresses. The rich officially live at 50 Riverside Blvd., the poor at 40 Riverside Blvd.
Low-income renter Eric Olm, 44, moved into his sixth-floor one-bedroom unit last week, and all his windows look out over the forbidden courtyard.
“It would be nice to actually get to enjoy it,” he said, gazing at the roomy patio.
Another poor-side tenant griped that the buzzer and intercom aren’t working.
“They keep saying they’re going to fix it. Every day they say, ‘It’ll be done today,’ but it isn’t,” said the 44-year-old resident, who wished to remained anonymous for fear of jeopardizing her one-bedroom rental.
A tenant from the “rich” side took no issue with the separate and unequal residences, claiming, “It’s unfortunate to make it into a class warfare,” and, “It’s not us against them.”
However, the resident, who requested anonymity, admitted he had never mingled with his less-fortunate neighbors.
To qualify for an “affordable” rental, a family of four must earn less than $50,000 per year, and an individual no more than $35,000. About 90,000 people applied for the 55 units.
Building developer Extell came under fire in 2013 after proposing to build low-income housing units within the luxury tower and requiring low-income residents to use a separate entrance. The inclusion of affordable units meant Extell would benefit from millions in tax breaks and additional developmental rights — such as building higher and wider than normally permitted.
The city moved to remedy the “poor door” loophole in the 421-a tax-exemption program. The new provision, announced in June, states that “affordable units shall share the same common entrances and common areas as market rate units.”
But buildings like Extell’s, for which construction began before June 15, 2015, were grandfathered in.
Assemblywoman Linda B. Rosenthal slammed Extell: “No landlord should be allowed to tell a child that they are not able to walk through the same doors, or play in the same areas, as their neighbor,” she said.

reading a match report in the usually excellent Wexford People and this shambles of an effort is in this weeks edition. I dont recognise the reporter, so I assume that it was a recruit from a sister paper in Wicklow @bandage? I fucking hope so anyway. And I hope to fuck that this guy is a transition year student or something, because if this fucker is being paid for this type of reporting, then fuck me, I’d weep for the journalism profession. I’d usually highlight my favourite bits of nonsense, but the whole thing is a complete and utter shambles.
Counsel in control
Richard Clune
Good Counsel 3-16 Wicklow Schools 0-3
Good Counsel’s forward march towards another potential Leinster Senior football ‘A’ championship title continued in Bray on Thursday when they comfortably dismissed the combined Wicklow Schools at the quarter-final stage with 22 points to spare.
Corner-forward Martin Fitzharris had two points on the board inside three minutes with one off either foot. After that shaky start Wicklow got up to the speed of the game and came into the match.
They won plenty of the ball around the middle third and worked it well up the field, but once inside the Good Counsel 45-metre line the passing was poor.
The holders seemed to have more players on the pitch when they turned over the ball because they always had a man free for a pass. They turned defence into attack at pace and, with forwards in the mood for scoring, the Wicklow defenders were under pressure.
Wing-forward Mark Rossiter punished Wicklow with two frees before Mikie Dwyer scored two goals. He latched onto a rebound for an easy first but his second demonstrated Good Counsel’s gameplan.
A long ball was won by full-forward Sam Wall who laid it off to the onrushing Dwyer to finish it well past Mark Jackson. They had many other opportunities trying a similar tactic though it didn’t always work out.
When players sprint with the ball it is extremely difficult for defenders to stop them, and Good Counsel’s forward movement was excellent. Mark Rossiter scored his first point from play and Counsel led by 2-5 to no score on 20 minutes.
Again, the score didn’t reflect the match as a whole as Wicklow’s good play was let down when near their rivals’ goal. Mark Jackson came up from goal to register Wicklow’s first point, from a long-range free, before the teams traded points in the last few minutes of the first-half. Good Counsel led by 2-6 to 0-2 at the break.
The second-half turned into a nightmare for the Wicklow team as Good Counsel continued to pull away. The game lost all intensity in the final 15 minutes. Seán Nolan came on for the Wexford side and scored three points to stake a claim for a starting spot in Good Counsel’s semi-final.
Wicklow deserved a few scores in the second-half to leave the end result looking a little better but they shot a number of wides. Roan Lynch did drive towards goal but his space was suffocated by retreating defenders.
There was a gulf in class though; Good Counsel are a powerhouse in schools football and it will take a good team to beat them.
I’m sure plenty of journalists in national publications have produced far worse than that.

That’s fantastic, is he in charge of the twitter account by any chance?
Without knowing for sure it would be safe to assume he’s one of the lads who posts to the Twitter account alright
It’s getting tedious that every newspaper goes to salthill the minute there’s some stormy weather to watch lads swimming in the sea.
Great for galway lads who think they’re famous though.
They are a simple lot really those Galway folk.
