What's in the Sunday Papers ?

[Baron von Biffo]

Speaks for itself:

Or more accurately, speaks for one side.

[PaddyJoe]

Or more accurately, speaks for one side.

Donal McIntyre's new book is out this week.

From the depths of the criminal underworld to the sequined heights of Dancing on Ice, MacIntyre confounds, amuses and astounds.
In Hitmen, Gangsters, Cannibals and Me, Donal opens up his reporter’s notebook for the first time to reveal the compelling story of the man behind the stories. In this candid and revealing memoir, we are given a fascinating and hilarious insight into what it means to truly live a life without limits.

Would it be too cynical to think that chasing the Viper this week might have served a purpose?

John Burns of the ST:

Sunday Bizz Post leads with "Revealed: how the state pays top prices for 'cheap' drugs", including up to 12 times more than the NHS

Agreement seen by Bizz Post shows that generic drug manufacturers are authorised to charge the state up to 98% of the price of branded ones

Atlantic Philantrophies, run by supposedly secretive Chuck Feeney, wil buy the Castletroy hotel in Limerick for a song, says Bizz Post p2

Pat Leahy gives a plug to the Four Angry Men, even though he isn't one any more! Full inside story in tomorrow's Atticus

It takes 3 Sindo journalists to deliver an unimpressive splash: Mike Aynsley accuses Sean Quinn of being "economical with the truth"

better Sindo offlead: "Denis O'Brien makes personal threat to Vincent Browne" over an article on Moriarty tribunal in Irish Times

I do love the way Vincent Browne says "he did not wish to comment". Imagine if a politician pulled that line on him!

Gerry Hickey, former adviser to Bertie Ahern, left 230k in his will, reports Sindo p2

Sindo p3, @CharlieFlanagan slams disrespectful attitude of powerful businessmen such as Denis O'Brien for the courts and the law

Sindo p4 - Brian Crowley hasn't talked to FF leader in "months". Also, Richard Bruton's "pampered aides" buy a 6k coffee maker

Just won an office bet that Eoghan Harris would have a pop at Pat Rabbitte, following the revelation that the minister met Denis O'Brien

Harris claims Pat Rabbitte is "putting down the time before he cashes in his Rolls Royce public sector pension". Hell hath no fury...

oh dear: Colum Kenny's piece on p25 of Sindo studiously does not name T** McF**** as attacking @NiamhHoran, but sub does in pic caption!

well worth checking in your newsagents tomorrow if this pic caption has been changed (don't buy it, obviously!)

btw Colum Kenny takes up the cudgels on Niamh Horan's behalf: is it hysterical to run screaming from a man wielding a broken glass?, he asks

Vinny and DOB? Now that I'd pay to watch

we might see more on this!

A SEARCH is underway at Dublin castle today after two men were seen climbing down a manhole last night.

The security alert began at around 9.30 last night after the two men were seen putting a ladder down the manhole at the gates of the castle and climbing down.

The Garda sub aqua unit is heading up the search and are liaising with the drains department at Dublin City Council.

Gardai say no break ins have been reported to buildings in the area.

Re Harris & Rabbitte..... what a waste of printing ink.... on both counts; Harris is a twit and R is just filling in the time, we all know that.

Petey on the Run could soon be Petey the Perjurer

I wonder if he will get time in the supervised accomodation on the Mountjoy Campus, like his cousin, for Perjury. Or might he see the inside of a real jail?

It is striking how the bankers and politicians still roam free while the punter, albeit, a gigantic punter, is under the rightful hammer of the law.
