A SCHOOLGIRL and her little brother died in a crash yesterday — the last victims in what was among the most deadly Februarys on our roads in recent years.

A sentence of ten years, with the last two years suspended, was imposed today on a man who was caught in a €100,000 ecstasy transaction in a remote area of County Cork.

ALMOST a year to the day since it went to market, Belline House in Co Kilkenny has been sold, for close to €4 million.

I REFER to Noel Whelan’s column headlined ‘From Brian Boru to Bono: who was the greatest of us all?’ (Irish Examiner, Nov 28) .
