The tabs, like all the papers are full of tributes to Gerry Ryan after the RTE presenter’s shock death yesterday. Public figures from the entertainment, sporting and political worlds have all expressed their shock and sadness at Ryan’s tragic passing.
Elsewhere in the tabs this morning, the Star reports the bizarre story of Paul Moloney who was married in Galway yesterday…by his own father. Fr Michael Moloney was originally ordained in 1966, but left the priesthood after meeting his wife Marjorie while working as a missionary in Zambia. When Marjorie passed away five years ago, Michael application to rejoin the priesthood was accepted, allowing him to help Paul tie the knot with his partner Deborah Coyle, in Renmore, Galway yesterday.
‘Blitz the Slick’ shouts the Mirror this morning in response to news that the Americans are going to deal with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico the only way they know how…bombing the shit out of it.
Around 210,000 gallons of oil a day are leaking from a broken well 5,000 feet below the surface off the coast of Louisiana and with the lives of thousands of birds, fish and other species in danger, Pentagon officials are now investigating whether the military can play a role in minimising the threat posed to wildlife.
Don’t worry we’ve been assured that they found weapons of mass destruction in the water before deciding to proceed with military action.
