A WOMAN HAS died after her car collided with a truck in Meath this afternoon.

The woman, aged in her 30s, was the sole occupant of the car.
She was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was removed to Our Lady’s Hospital Navan. The driver of the truck did not require hospital treatment.
This stretch of road is currently closed to facilitate an examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and local diversions are in place.

Ah il guarantee you they’ll be on the lash with the lads over from the gardai after so who cares more power to them. It’s 2014 theses Neanderthals need to move on. The gardai and psni will be over at their own expense representing their forces and the island of ireland unlike our politicians over on junkets in five star hotels flying first class. Hope they have A ball.
Exactly. Build a bridge.
Let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room.
The RUC were a terrorist apartheid-enforcing group, that is for sure.
But the PSNI contain many nationalist members, who no doubt would have been the ones to come to New York to celebrate their national holiday, with their country and their tricolour. (unionists/loyalist bigots don’t!)
Amateur mistake rescinding invite.
Why shouldn’t they be there. St. Patrick’s day is for the island of Ireland and they are a police force on this island
It is good to hear that the PSNI got an invitation to take part. Why shouldn’t they march in the parade? Parades are intended for marching bands, and anyone who is in a band and can play an instrument should be in the parade if they want to take part.
Pardon my French but fcuk the dissidents ! We have moved on. Lest we forget the sacrifice that real heroes like Ronan Kerr made.
Good. The sooner we put our stupid differences aside, the better.
The PSNI will march with the Gardai Siochana. Nothing queer about it.
I’m sure the PSNI and Gardaí who are over will have one hell of a weekend together, swapping stories and having the craic. A perfect opportunity to build bridges and forge friendships.
Good to see they didn’t give in to the ‘dissident’ groups, whoever they are. A shower of muppets if you ask me.
Should an Orange Lodge band not be invited as well. They are after all a marching band on the island of Ireland. I may or may not be serious here…
You aren’t serious, because the Orange Lodge would not accept an invitation. They hate us.
When you say “They hate us”, to whom are you referring? They are Irish too? Surely they don’t hate themselves!?
You have a point Darragh Kinsella. Can’t they get Irish passports if they choose so? How much more Irish can you be?
A disgrace they let it happen in the first place!! Bloody interfering republicans!
The organising committee should be shipped out to Russia where they belong.
Why Russia?Gay sex which is perfectly legal in Russia is banned in several American states.
It surely proves what a bigoted sectarian organisation the AOH really is if they had the “jitters” from members and dissidents.
I would suggest people look at the “oath” potential members if the AOH have to sign
It beggars belief why any Irish politician let alone our Taoiseach would have anything to do with them
Well done to Heineken for pulling their sponsorship of the New York Parade and Sam Adams who have pulled their sponsorship of the Boston parade as they don’t want their products associated with bigots. A shame the Taoiseach wouldn’t follow their example and that of the New York Mayor and New York City Council. Slowly but surely the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Catholic League will be dragged into the 21st Century,
Well I won’t be drinking Hienikan again if they are taking sides in non business issues. They have more hertosexuals than homosexuals as customers. Discrimination should be equal.
Ciaran
Discrimination is discrimination. Heinekin were right to do what they did
You actually know who drinks Heinekin as well do you?
St. Patrick’s day is a day for all. Your political or religious allegiance has, and should not, have anything to do with it. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by: the Anglican Communion; the Lutheran Church; the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. St. Patrick was never canonised a saint as such a practice did not exist at that time. St Patrick was a Christian he was not a Roman Catholic. His grandfather was a priest in the Christian Church. The original colour associated with St. Patrick was blue and not green. Blue was the colour of many ancient flags and it is the colour of the modern presidential standard.
What if an Irish gay Garda/Police group wished to march under a gay banner?
Dammit! Now I’m even more jealous I didn’t go!
have your say
