Dogs in Restaurants.
You can't even walk down the street without getting tangled up dog leashes every 10 yards.
I'm sick of people thinking everyone is a fan of their dog and is understanding of the inconvenience (how ever slight) their dogs cause in public.

I will not be eating in these restaurants.

Not sure where to put this really.  Nothing directly to do with Antrim GAA

Prosecutors failed today in a bid to stop the press identifying a former GAA star charged with disclosing sexual photographs of an ex-girlfriend.

A judge at Belfast Magistrates' Court dismissed the application for reporting restrictions in the case against Kevin McGourty.  McGourty, who represented Antrim during his Gaelic football career, had opposed the attempt to secure an anonymity order.  The 35-year-old, of Orchardville Avenue in Belfast, is accused of disclosing a private sexual photograph or film of the woman without consent, and with the intention of causing her distress.  He is further charged with harassing her and making threats to kill.

The alleged offences were committed on dates between April and May this year. McGourty denies all of the charges and is set to contest the case at a hearing next month.  With the alleged offences not covered by automatic reporting restrictions, the Public Prosecution Service sought a press ban.  A PPS lawyer argued that naming McGourty could lead to the complainant being identified.  It was contended that this may cause fear and distress, damaging the quality of her evidence. But McGourty's barrister, Martin Morgan, resisted the application.  Mr Morgan argued that the prosecution had failed to produce the clear evidential narrative required.  Dismissing the application, District Judge Fiona Bagnall held that the test for imposing reporting restrictions had not been met.

According to the British government 30 year papers they wanted to put some neon advertising on the Brit watchtowers in South Armagh to brighten them up!!

A prominent hilltop observation tower overlooking the main road from Belfast to Dublin could have been decked out under suggestions to spruce up the forbidding British Army structure during the conflict. Unsightly shields and barbed wire surrounded it to protect against rocket attacks.

A civil servant at the Northern Ireland Office wrote a note on the issue relaying the views of Peter Bottomley, who was the private secretary of Peter Brooke, the Northern Ireland secretary at the time.

It said: "He was sure that an imaginative way could be found to smarten up and decorate security structures in a way that would not be out of keeping with their function but would at the same time produce a pleasingly aesthetic effect on travellers.
