The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I've driven there recently, there's plenty of time to slow down. There's no anomaly, just people refusing to take responsibility for their own actions. My local Labour TD has spent most of this year advocating for speeding motorists.

This story was unbelievable. The whole country is crying out for more enforcement, for more use of technology to make our roads safer (5 roads deaths this week), yet a @labour.ie TD is giving out about a speed camera and defending people who break the law.
