      The church hall was originally the garden of one of the priests attached to Corpus Christie church, I would see Fr O Keefe read his prayers in that garden , ironic that it went from a peacefull setting to 300 watts of Tears of a clown by Smokey Robinson . I often thought he would turn in his grave. One of the originaters of Smoofs lives on Walsh road, his brother who was also involved lives not to far from me in Sydney.

                    Hey, what's the story here, is there no one from the North side on the Forum, anyway I have read that the old Whitehall Station is to become the new City Morgue . I have a good story about that building, many years ago while playing street football , the game was interrupted by the appearance of the local squad car, and naturally we all scarpered down the nearby lanes, unfortunately I had left my jacket on the ground as it formed one of the goalposts, when we returned my jacket was gone. After considering if I could bear the loss I realised my Motorcycle keys were in my pocket, so the brave decision was made to go to the station and get my jacket back. After some discussion the desk person gave me back my jacket, with the comment by the look of you, you will never make it as a footballer, of course with great dignity I replied, by the look of you, you will never make an inspector and then beat a hasty retreat. a few years after I was involved is a serious enough accident on my Motorcycle and ended up in the Richmond Hospital. sometime later while in Hospital I received several summonses ref this accident, by the way no one else was injured in the accident. Some time passed and the person called to the house and informed me all the summonses were dropped ( all was okay ref Tax / Insurance) . Many years later while coming from Croke Park carrying a large flag, I got a tap on the shoulder and was amazed to see it was the chap that had looked after all those summonses. It was great to meet him and I certainly hope he went on to be an inspector or better in his chosen career, I will never forget him for his help to me.

                      Great story M.

                      With all the debate about Gardai sorting tickets and summonses, this shows us another aspect of the issue. Sometimes, it's not so bad to turn a blind eye......

                          Hi N
                          Thing is it was an accident, I did not do anything wrong, a bloody dog ran out in front of me, it was a matter of form these were issued, still he looked after them.
