Just when everyone was getting ready for the excitement of the St Patrick’s Festival and Ambassador Haass was still receiving the barbed attention of the media and the politicians, another event has dramatically skipped into the limelight.

Police are advising anyone who may come across the Wallaby and baby joey not to approach them – they do not bite but could be started and injured! If you see them, contact the police immediately on 0845 600 8000.
Please drive caefully on the roads.
