A MAN HAS stabbed ten schoolchildren in southern China, severely injuring two of them, before taking his own life, according to state media reports.
The Reuters news service reports that the man stabbed six boys and four girls outside a school in the city of Haikou.
Quoting a report by state broadcaster CCTV, Reuters said the children were taken to hospital for treatment. Two are being treated for serious wounds, but none of their injuries are life-threatening.
The South China Morning Post reports that the pupils were lining up at the school gates before being allowed out at lunchtime when the man approached them.
The children were all aged around eight.
The paper reports that the man was seen lying in a lane near the school, unconscious, in the wake of the attack, and that it was believed he had taken his own life.

“Namas Project eagle, the hospital trolley crisis, the homeless crisis, the Moriarty tribunal findings, bin charges, water charges, insurance hikes, mental health crisis…..No……..Seagulls, I want to talk about the scourge of Seagulls” – Ned O’Sullivan
Very Important People in the Senate that is important to themselves.
Really getting value for that €65,000+ a year plus expenses and sauce….

More value then Enda walking around behind the out going VP of America in Mayo to be honest.
I really want to know who voted to keep this abomination. It’s a complete waste of time and money.
Yes Tedd. They’re laughing at us.
vulture complains about seagulls.

I want to express my gratitude to those of you who voted to retain the Seanad.
I know…I feel so GULLible.
That’s for free.
You’re allowed only one tern Charlie.
There’s nothing worse than having nothing to do all day but show up for work and have to spend the whole time wiping gulls poop off your expensive suit. I can see why they talk about it. There’s nothing else to talk about.
Why would he care about litter strewn around the streets….he wont have to pick it up…ever,in fact he’ll never have to work again now that hes a member of the most elite and exclusive club in Ireland.
Those Senators are for the birds
Is this what we are paying these guys to talk about
We had one job, one……….feck.
Ditch the bags, get wheels bins and your problem is solved.
For fook sake have they not got real work to be doing. We already have well paid folk in the councils to worry about feckin’ seagulls. What a joke and an embarrassment and a joke. When are they going to discuss housing, homelessness, goughing bin charges, flawed judicial system, water charges rip off, TTIP, Euro federal state, mis-firing police service, rip off insurance market and a multitude of other crises. Maybe they are winding down for the week since it’s Wednesday! Or is it because the summer holiers are almost here, we can sort it all out in October sure. Not sure how much more of this crap I can take.
You Lazlo, along with the rest of us, will be taking it for as long as fg and ff are voted in. Which, I fear, will be for many more decades to come
Sure look on the bright side…..all that money NAMA’s making is giving the gamblers back their money while our services go into meltdown. http://www.rte.ie/news/business/2016/0622/797436-nama-senior-debt/
….no gamble really….was it?
65k a year to gas about seagulls. Well done electorate for keeping the Irish House of Lords open.
They remind me of seagulls…making a lot of noise; scavenger like, looking after themselves; seemingly useless to you and me; and not always welcome… if they ban seagulls can they please go with them…?
So these gravy train junkies sit once every month in the seanad and joke about gulls. Well done voters, you get the gombeens you deserve
Silly season has just started.
Gulls are beautiful and add alot to Dublin with their beautiful calls. Leave them be.
This is why we shouldn’t join the Commonwealth. They simply wouldn’t understand the key issues affecting the country.
What about the two legged birds begging and upsetting old folk walking O’Connell Street?
All the birds have 2 legs.
Ned O Sullivan takes his 3 mths holidays seagull watching at the beach, Ned is gone to the birds. How did the rest of the idiots there not give him a smack across the head. What a plonker. Lets get legislation for the birds.
It’s ok if we hit another recession I’m sure the senators will take under there WINGS
Another recession and the Gull problem will be fixed…….as we eat them.
This is what you get when you only need 24 votes to get elected
Well done all you idiots who voted to retain this. Aren’t you so glad you did.
s l o w c l a p
Preach.
Flock of f’in egits
It says something about the seanad when it’s most important and only headline is about seagulls. It serves no purpose only to keep rejected politicians ticking over till the next election.
Senator Hitchcock!

Probably SET UP A COMMITTEE to talk to the seagulls about it?

At our apartment building we are told to leave our rubbish in waste-company-specific bags by a tree on the street, where they do get torn to pieces. Great system. Absurd that such buildings don’t as standard have a communal skip or something.
have your say
