The Older I Get.
The older I get, The more I think, You only get a minute, better live while you’re in it, ‘Cause it’s gone in a blink. And the older I get, The truer it is, It’s the people you love, not the money and stuff, That makes you rich. And if they found a fountain of youth, I wouldn’t drink a drop and that’s the truth, Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet. The older I get, The fewer friends I have, But you don’t need a lot when the ones that you got, Have always got your back. And the older I get, The better I am, At knowing when to give, And when to just not give a damn. And if they found a fountain of youth, I wouldn’t drink a drop and that’s the truth, Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet, The older I get. And I don’t mind all the lines, From all the times I’ve laughed and cried, Souvenirs and little signs of the life I’ve lived. The older I get, The longer I pray, I don’t know why, I guess that I’ve, Got more to say. And the older I get, The more thankful I feel, For the life I’ve had and all the life I’m living still.
A Garda Passing-Out ceremony took place at the Garda Training College in Templemore Co. Tipperary today, where 108 newly attested Garda members were welcomed into the Garda force.
These new Garda members have now completed their training and will be assigned to Garda Divisions throughout the country.
There are currently over 14,000 Garda members now employed within the force, as per the latest available figures, each committed to building safer communities. Budget 2024, through taxpayer funding reflects this commitment to ensure that same communities remain safe and that An Garda Síochána have full resources required to operate effectively.
The budget provided by taxpayers to the Garda Commissioner, continues to increase to unprecedented levels, with an allocation of over €2.35 billion for 2024.
A further batch of recruits are expected to begin training in the Garda Training College in Templemore on Monday next.
FSAI issues precautionary warning for consumers with a peanut allergy.
Thursday, 19th September 2024
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland(FSAI) has been notified by the Food Standards Agency, UK that batches of mustard powder and mustard flour imported to the UK from India have been found to contain undeclared peanut protein. In the interest of protecting consumers in Ireland, the FSAI, as a precautionary measure, is advising anyone with a peanut allergy or suspected peanut allergy not to eat any products containing mustard as an ingredient.
The FSAI advises affected consumers to check labelling on products prior to consumption.
Mustard is also a priority food allergen in the EU and therefore, must be declared for pre-packed food and for non-pre-packed food when used as an ingredient.
The Food Standards Agency, UK is working urgently to ascertain the source and distribution chains for these batches. The investigation is ongoing and the FSAI is liaising closely with the UK agency.
The FSAI has issued two food allergen alerts earlier this week [See links HERE and HERE ], linked to this contamination and it will issue additional food allergen alerts if any additional implicated products are found to be on sale in Ireland.
It has come to my attention that a picture, owned by me, is being used to promote a faceless social media page on Facebook. Same is calling for a Bypass for the town of Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Stolen picture. Pic: G. Willoughby [121106.jpg]
I believe this Facebook page is possibly the work of a failed political entity and its purpose is totally designed to self-promote this one particular individual.
I wish the public to understand that in NO WAY, despite the use of my property, am I, George Willoughby, involved with this faceless social media project and I have requested the party responsible to remove the picture with immediate effect.
The picture dates back to April 15th 2023 and can be VIEWED HERE, together with text content and is signed by me.
While over numerous years I have always supported the idea of a Thurles Bypass [View Here, and Here,] and in every way highlighted the need for same, the idea of a faceless Facebook page, containing no content except misguided ‘Likes’; and nothing else except a picture photographed and owned by me; I find to be dishonest, cowardly, spineless, gutless and totally repulsive. I already see this dishonesty materialising in those previous offenders, we elected in the last local elections.
Responsibility for the provision of a Thurles Bypass lies solely with those elected to government, namely Mr Jackie Cahill and Mr Michael Lowry, both with offices in Thurles and who silently work out of each other’s pockets. Between November 2024 and March 2025 a general election will take place. Those who feel strongly regarding the lack of a Thurles Bypass, will have the option to cast their votes accordingly.
I withhold the link to the Facebook Social Media page.
