It's Lahinch isn;t it? Or maybe Lehinch? Well, a war of words has erupted in Clare as the spelling of the beautiful coastal town has locals up in arms. And it's not the only medium-sized town in Ireland that's suffering from an identity crisis. As Ronan Casey and Anton Savage found, there are loads more around the country all incorrectly spelled on official road signs. Lahinches neighbours Ennistymon and Ballyvaughan are also suffering. Who's to blame? Well, Councils are blaming the NRA and vice versa. We may never know.
But the people of Lahinch are fighting back and they are replacing the 'E' on roadsigns with professionally made A's, as per a report in the Clare People
Ronan's regional newspaper review also featured the first national news of the baking hybrid that only people in Waterford can enjoy - the Blaa-Guette.
We also had the newspaper feature the whole world was waiting to read, and now thanks to the Anglo Celt in Cavan, you can - the short history of silage.
Staying on a fragrant theme, there was mystery in Cavan as to just who was curling cables on footpaths - was it dog poo or horse poo? That's what the Mayor of Cootehill wanted to know. “I don’t know if it’s horses or dogs but whatever is leaving it behind it’s a disgrace!” said Carmel Brady to her local paper. Whatever it was, pooing on paths is horrendous and it's time the Government issued every home in Ireland with nappy sacks according to our man Ronan
EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE A PACK OF NAPPY SACKS
Ronan also had sensational news from that bible of showbiz news, The Tuam Herald. Yes, the Saw Doctors are back! Soon...
We also had the secret to a long life, the Kerry men taking on America in an ice hockey championship on a frozen river sponsored by a beer company (wow) and the man addicted to cereal. HELP HIM!
