HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s something small we thought we’d share with you. 2013 marks the first time since 1987 that the year can be written with four different digits. What’s more, it’s the first time since the year 1432 that the year can be written with four consecutive numbers, though obviously not in the right order. That was last done in the year 1234 – a mere 779 years ago.

Poll: Is Alan Shatter’s position as minister untenable?
A MOTION OF no confidence in the Minister for Justice will be debated in the Dáil next week with Fianna Fáil claiming Alan Shatter’s position is now “untenable”.
The opposition party has been fiercely critical of the Fine Gael deputy’s handling of an ongoing row with Independent TD Mick Wallace.
“The Minister has shown extremely poor judgement of late. In particular, he used private information he received from the Garda Commissioner to undermine an opposition TD on Prime Time last week,” Niall Collins charged.
Shatter is currently facing two investigations by the Data Protection Commissioner and the Standards in Public Office Commission over his actions. He was also forced to clarify the nature of an incident where he was breathalysed by gardaí but could not complete the test because of asthma.
Although the motion of no confidence is unlikely to pass (as the government can table a counter-motion), TheJournal.ie wants to know what you think. Is Alan Shatter’s position as minister untenable?
Poll Results:
Read: Shatter: ‘I was breathalysed, but hadn’t done anything wrong’
More: Commissioner told Shatter about Mick Wallace’s encounter with Gardaí
