The GAA world yesterday began to pay its respects to Dublin football great Anton O’Toole, 68, following his death after a 15-month battle with cancer.

Ceremonies to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day are drawing thousands of visitors to the cemeteries, beaches and stone-walled villages of Normandy, including some of the few survivors of the largest sea-borne invasion ever mounted.

JUST as the best ideas are sometimes the simplest, the most complicated can also have their uses as proven by the winners of the 48th BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.

He’s never gone for the media circus but Anton O’Toole is as passionate about Dublin football now as he was playing in six consecutive finals in the seventies.
