    DSE/Pembroke - On a lighter note.

    Seems cllr and our other friends on DCC's South East Committee have saved Fr Pat Noise from the scrapheap.

    Irish Times:
    The wily Fr Pat Noise looks set to remain a permanent fixture on O'Connell Bridge after plans to remove him were suddenly aborted by Dublin City Council on Tuesday morning.

    There were red faces in the council after it emerged that councillors on the southeast committee had passed a motion to retain the unofficial plaque to the fictitious priest in December.

    Cllr Dermot Lacey tabled that motion and said he couldn't believe his eyes when he read in the The Irish Times on Tuesday the plaque was to be removed by council workers that day.

    "It would have been a direct act of defiance to local government if it had been removed," he said. Mr Lacey said it appeared the relevant city council officials were not aware of the councillors' decision.

    Ten minutes after he raised a query with the council, he was told that the priest had been spared once more.

    The plaque commemorates the mysterious cleric who "died in suspicious circumstances when his carriage plunged into the Liffey on August 10th, 1919".

    It would be in the gift of the local organisation, I would think that it would be Paddy though.
