USERS AFFECTED by the O2 Ireland timekeeping glitch earlier – where phones which take their date and time from the network’s settings – are advised to reboot their phones to restore the correct time. Phones had earlier begun showing the time 45 minutes late.

The operator’s network time is running 45 minutes late – so if your phone asks the network for the time (as iPhones do), it’ll say 8:15am when it’s actually 9am. Get to work.

A PUBLIC VOTE on whether water should remain owned by the public could happen as early as next year.
In correspondence seen by TheJournal.ie, Minister Eoghan Murphy said that since the Government’s decision last November to proceed with the planned referendum, officials from his department have “engaged intensively with the Attorney General and with staff from his office and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to develop proposed amendments to the Bill”.
The decision from government to hold a referendum follows the proposal from independent TD Joan Collins for a vote on whether to insert text into article 28 of the Constitution which would keep in public ownership any company or authority responsible for the supply of water services.
“To get this in the Constitution will close this down… water is the new gold, we have to protect it,” said the Dublin South Central TD last year.
So, what do you think? How would you vote in a referendum on water ownership?
