ARMAGH

Three young brothers living in Northern Ireland may be sent back to their Eastern European homeland after their parents were convicted of a catalogue of abuse towards them. However, their baby sister — born just last year — may be returned to live with her cruel and brutal parents.

CARLOW

Just three gardaí (Irish police) were on duty when a series of malicious blazes gutted landmark buildings in Carlow Saturday morning two weeks ago. A reliable source has revealed that when the first calls reporting the fires came through from members of the public to Carlow Garda Station at 4am on the Saturday morning, there were only three gardaí on duty at the time. Two of those were on duty in a squad car, leaving just one to man Carlow Garda Station, which is the largest in the county. The source also claimed there was no sergeant on duty on Wednesday night, Thursday night and Friday night.
