offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

"FINE GAEL’s candidate in the Dublin Central byelection narrowly avoided serious injury yesterday afternoon when a car mounted the footpath and ran over his foot as he was leaving Bertie Ahern’s local."

Irish Times, Wednesday, May 6, 2009

What ever happened because of this? Did Paschal make a report to the Gardaí? Did he go to hospital? Was any action taken agains the driver?

The story was never followed up, and Paschal was fine a short time later,out canvassing door to door, which is pretty amazing for someone who has just been hit by a car which drove over his foot. It can't be that he just walked into the road can it? Or made the whole thing up? Strange business. Hopefully someone will raise the issue of the mysterious car accident at the meeting.
