Tales of the Tabs
The tabloids are in colourful form. It’s criminals with rocket launchers, crazed double killers and insults for dead celebrities. Your standard Sunday really.
The Irish Daily Star leads with the story of ‘Crazed double killer’ Mark Nash. Apparently he’s fallen for a pretty Dublin lollipop lady. Nash is serving in Arbour Hill prison so I’m not sure what sort of future the relationship has to be honest. I’m not convinced it will go the distance.
The Sunday World reckons it has the inside track on this week’s weapons seizure in Kildare which included rockets and ‘warheads’. They say exiled crime boss Liam Byrne arranged the shipment from Spain on behalf of his cousin ‘Fat Freddie Thompson’ who is said to be embroiled in a gang-feud. Everybody needs a hobby I suppose.
The Irish Sunday Mirror, meanwhile, have a story about late Boyzone star Stephen Gately. Apparently his mother is none too impressed about ‘slurs’ featured in the acknowledgements section of a book penned by the singer’s husband. Apparently he wrote that Stephen had grown up in ‘one of the poorest parts of Dublin City’. Apparently, ‘during the 1980s it was a place of civil unrest and terrorist activity.†What a muppet.
