An inspection report handed to parents whose children attend a Dublin creche identified breaches of child-adult ratios yet marked the facility compliant. The HSE said this was an “administrative error”.
THE HOWTH COAST Guard Unit has been called out to investigate a report of a person gone into the water at Portmarnock Beach this evening.
A man was reportedly seen walking into the water at about 7pm today.
The witness saw the male walk into the sea and disappear, according to the Howth Coast Guard.
Coast Guard boats and a rescue helicopter have been deployed in the area. Members of the Gardaí are also at the scene. The Howth RNLI all-weather lifeboat was deployed and the RNLI branch provided on-scene co-ordination of the search area.
Another person at the site told TheJournal.ie that a number of people are out searching the area.
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?
