@deirdrenugent4 Condolences to you and family
@Nick_Delehanty Propaganda is very profitable for some!
After watching Crimecall on RTE where the families of Deirdre Jacob and Jojo Dullard are appealing again, I`m sharing the details of those missing womens, as members of both women's families previously asked me to post about them in the hopes someone who knows will have the strenght of character to come forward with information Crime Call is 1800 40 50 60. Alternately all the other local numbers are below each set of details.
An 18-year-old student teacher called Deirdre Jacob was back home in Kildare, on her summer break from St Mary’s University in London. She vanished almost in sight of her own front gate on the 28th of July 1998.
Deirdre set out that day to do some messages in Newbridge town, walking the familiar 20-minute route from her parents’ gaff in Roseberry. Her precise movements were captured CCTV At 2:18 pm they saw her at the AIB, withdrawing a bank draft for her student accommodation rent. By 2:26 pm she was seen posting that draft at the Post Office. Deirdre was chatting with a friend at 2:32 pm.
Then shortly after 3 pm she was seen walking the quiet road toward home. She was carrying a black satchel-type bag with the bright yellow letters “CAT”. Deirdre was 5’3”, slim, grey-green eyes, dark chin-length hair. Witnesses saw her just metres from safety. The gate to her house nearly in view, when she disappeared.
For years Gardaí treated Deirdre’s case as a missing person’s investigation. In 2018, after a comprehensive review by the Serious Crime Review Team, the case was reclassified as a murder investigation.
Despite thousands of lines of inquiry and hundreds of appeals, no charges have ever been brought. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) reviewed Garda files in 2022 and directed that no charges be laid at that time.
One suspect in her case is Larry Murphy, the convicted rapist and kidnapper. His former cellmate later told Gardaí Murphy had confessed to killing a young woman in Kildare, claiming he stopped to ask for directions before dragging her into his vehicle and killing her when she resisted. Thist uncorroborated allegation became part of the renewed case file sent to the DPP.
Gardaí have never been able to place Murphy in Newbridge on the afternoon of July 28, 1998, and repeated appeals for independent witnesses to confirm his presence have failed to produce definitive links.
Deirdre’s father, Michael Jacob, has at times urged the public not to fixate only on Murphy, fearing that speculation might deter other witnesses from coming forward. Other leads, including reported sightings in Dublin in the days after her disappearance, are unverified.
As of early 2026, the case remains open and active, a testament to both Garda persistence and the limits of investigative power. Deirdre’s parents, Michael and Bernadette Jacob, still make public appeals on national media.

I'm at a family dinner and my uncle Tony starts telling a story about something that happened to him at the hardware store.
Uncle Tony tells stories that start somewhere and end up completely somewhere else.
Nobody ever stops him because it's always somehow worth it.
Uncle Tony: "So I go in to get some screws right, basic stuff."
Dad: "Okay."
Uncle Tony: "And I'm in the screw aisle, which is aisle 7, and I see this guy I went to high school with. Frank Deluca."
Me: "Okay."
Uncle Tony: "Now Frank Deluca, back in high school, owed me five dollars from a bet we made in 1987."
Mom: "Tony."
Uncle Tony: "Let me finish. So I see Frank and he sees me and I can tell he remembers the five dollars."
Dad: "How could you tell?"
Uncle Tony: "Because he immediately turned around and walked the other way."
Me: *trying not to laugh* "In the screw aisle."
Uncle Tony: "In the screw aisle. So I follow him."
Mom: "Tony you didn't."
Uncle Tony: "I followed him through screws, through plumbing, all the way to the back of the store by the lumber."
Dad: "What happened?"
Uncle Tony: "He finally stopped and turned around and said 'Tony, how are you' like he hadn't just speed walked half the store to avoid me."
Me: "What did you say?"
Uncle Tony: "I said 'Frank, you owe me five dollars.'"
The whole table loses it.
Uncle Tony: "He stood there for a second, reached into his wallet, and gave me five dollars. Didn't say a word. Just handed it over."
Dad: "After 30 years?!"
Uncle Tony: "37 years. And I still never got my screws because by the time the whole thing was over I forgot why I went in."
My mom is crying and laughing. My dad is shaking his head. Uncle Tony just shrugs and goes back to eating his food like he didn't just tell the greatest story of the evening. That's always how it goes with him.
@JaredRyanSears And both will be overturned 🤣
He's right
Dear @rtenews - your article is incorrect.
Up until the early 2000s, Ireland had some of the cheapest household electricity prices in Europe. Because the ESB (Electricity Supply Board) operated with a not-for-profit mandate as a public good, Irish consumers paid up to 18% below the EU average.

@deirdrenugent4 After making the list I remembered the first concert I was at! The Supremes in the Adelphi 1968 when I was 15
2 things about the death at Arnotts, it has exposed both racism and pure evil in social media comments. Irish people have had the reputation of being welcoming and generous. That's over we have been poisoned

"Here's something the NFL doesn't put in its highlight reels. 1961, Vince Lombardi gets word that Columbus, Georgia, a city hosting its very first professional football game, expects his black players to sleep somewhere separate from the rest of the team. What Lombardi did next was never reported by a single major newspaper.
His players rarely spoke about it publicly for years, but every man who wore green and gold in that era, white and black, carried it with them for the rest of their lives. This is the story of the night Vince Lombardi drove his entire team to a United States Army base rather than let one single player be treated as less than equal and dared the entire American South to say something about it.
Now, before we go to that Army base, before we hear what Lombardi said and what he did, you need to understand the world this man walked into because in 1961, the National Football League was not a progressive institution. It was a business, a very profitable business that had learned very carefully, very deliberately, not to make enemies of the men who controlled the stadiums, the television deals, and the political machinery of the American South.
Preseason games in southern cities meant money, good money, sellout crowds in cities hungry for professional football. And for that money, NFL coaches had learned a simple, ugly ritual. When the team bus pulled up to a hotel in a segregated city, the white players went inside. The black players were driven quietly, separately, without ceremony to a boarding house on the other side of town, in the black neighborhood, away from their teammates.
Nobody talked about it. Nobody wrote about it. It was just the way things were. Coaches called it respecting local customs. Players called it something else entirely. And for years, for years, every black man who played professional football in America had absorbed this ritual as the price of admission.
You want to play in the NFL? You put your head down. You get on the other bus. You tell yourself it doesn't matter. It mattered. Willie Davis knew it mattered. Emlyn Tunnell knew it mattered. Every black Packer who pulled on that green and gold jersey and then watched the team bus disappear into a southern evening, they knew.
But in 1961, nobody in a position of power was willing to say so out loud. Nobody except one Italian kid from Brooklyn who had absolutely no interest in learning how to stay in his lane. Vince Lombardi was not supposed to be here. Let's be about that. He was 45 years old when the Green Bay Packers came calling in January 1959.
45, an offensive coordinator at the New York Giants who had spent his entire career waiting for a chance that never seemed to arrive. Passed over for head coaching jobs at Notre Dame, at Army, at multiple NFL franchises. Too intense, they said. Too demanding. His daughter, Susan, would explain it years later with a clarity that cut straight to the bone.
My father was discriminated against as a dark-skinned Italian American. He felt he was passed up for coaching jobs he deserved. He knew what it felt like to be judged before you opened your mouth. Green Bay was a city of 62,000 people in the frozen northwest corner of Wisconsin. When Lombardi arrived in 1959, the Packers had gone one and 10 and won the previous season.
Their locker room was a collection of talented men who had forgotten, or perhaps never learned, what it meant to believe in something larger than themselves. When Lombardi joined, the Packers had exactly one black player on their roster. One. Within his first year, he had added 12 more.
He brought Emlyn Tunnell over from the New York Giants, a man who would become the first black player ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tunnell didn't come to Green Bay just to play. He came to help Lombardi build something. And from the very first day of training camp, Lombardi made the rules of that building project absolutely clear.
He stood at the front of the room. He looked at every face, white, black, from the north and the south, and he spoke in the quiet, controlled voice of a man who had already decided and was simply informing the room of his decision. ""If I ever hear the word or or or anything like that around here, regardless of who you are, you're through with me.
You cannot play for me if you have any kind of prejudice."" Not a suggestion, not a speech, a statement of policy delivered by a man whose eyes told you with complete certainty that he had meant every syllable before he said the first one. In his first season, the Packers went seven and five. In 1960, they won the NFL Western Conference for the first time since 1944.
Lombardi's second year. He then took them all the way to the NFL Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles, a game the Packers lost by a single point on the final play, inches from the goal line. After the press corps left the locker room that night, Lombardi stood before his players in the silence of that loss and said, ""This will never happen again.
You will never lose another championship."" He wasn't predicting, he was announcing. But before those championships, before the dynasty, before the five titles and the two Super Bowls and the trophy that would carry his name forever, there was a road trip to Georgia that almost nobody outside that team ever knew about.
Columbus, Georgia, summer of 1961. The city was preparing for the biggest moment in its sporting history, the first professional football game ever played within its limits. Green Bay Packers versus the Washington Redskins. An exhibition game, yes, but in a city that had never hosted the NFL, it was an event of enormous civic pride.
The game's organizers wanted maximum spectacle. They reached out to both teams and asked them to arrive early, help promote the city, practice in Columbus all week, give the local newspapers something to write about. Washington agreed immediately. The Redskins flew into Columbus six days before the game. They practiced in the city, held press availability, gave interviews, and generated exactly the kind of content the organizers had hoped for.
Then the organizers called Green Bay and they reached Vince Lombardi. The coach listened to the request. He understood the promotional logic. He understood what they wanted. And then he asked a simple question. Where would his players be staying? The answer came back through the way answers always came back in Jim Crow Georgia. Politely, apologetically, with the practiced casualness of people who had long since stopped questioning a system that worked in their favor, the white players would stay in Columbus proper.
Fine hotels, good accommodations. The black players, there were facilities on the other side of town. Very nice, actually. The kind of places that Lombardi stopped the conversation there. He thanked them for their time and then he made a phone call of his own. Lombardi had Army connections from his time coaching at West Point in the early 1950s.
He understood military culture, its directness, its structure, its complete indifference to the social hierarchies of civilian life. He called Fort Benning. Fort Benning was a United States Army installation located 10 miles outside Columbus. It was federal land. Federal rules applied. Jim Crow laws did not.
The conversation was brief. Could the Green Bay Packers, all of them, stay on base the night before the game? The answer was yes. Lombardi then informed the game's organizers of the revised arrangement. The Packers would not be arriving six days early. They would not be practicing in Columbus all week.
They would not be generating local newspaper content or participating in the promotional schedule. The Green Bay Packers would fly into Lawson Army Airfield the day before the game. They would stay together, every man on that roster, white and black, first string and scout team, in the bachelor officers quarters at Fort Benning.
They would practice on the base. They would eat together on the base. They would sleep under the same roof on the base. And then they would play the game. The organizers pushed back. There was a promotional commitment. There were contracts. There were expectations. Lombardi's response was simple enough that it required no elaboration.
""Those are your expectations. These are mine. When word reached the players about the arrangements, different men processed it differently. For the white players who had grown up in the north, it was a logistics update. Fort Benning instead of a Columbus hotel, fine. For the black players, it was something else entirely.
Willie Davis, who would go on to play 11 seasons with the Packers, make five Pro Bowls, and eventually be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, would reflect on this period in interviews years later. He spoke about the way Lombardi approached race, not as a problem to be managed, but as a simple matter of arithmetic.
He treated us as equals, just players competing for a spot on the team. Davis said, ""It was as if he felt the best way to fix the problem of segregation was to actually pretend it didn't exist, at least to us. That was the genius of what Lombardi did, not the grand gesture, not the press conference, not the letter to the league office announcing his position on civil rights.
He simply refused to operate any other way."" Quietly, consistently, without drama, the Packers flew into Lawson Army Airfield the day before the game. Every man, white and black, walked off that plane together. Every man loaded onto the same buses. Every man stayed in the bachelor officers quarters at Fort Benning, 10 miles outside a city that had decided some of them weren't welcome.
Dave Robinson, the linebacker who would become the first black player to start regularly at outside linebacker in NFL history, described what Lombardi had built in that locker room with a sentence so precise it requires no embellishment. ""It never enters my mind that I'm being chewed out because I'm a negro.
The important thing is everybody gets equal treatment. Equal treatment. In 1961, from an NFL head coach, it sounds simple. It was radical. The game was played. The crowd that turned out in Columbus that night for the city's great professional football debut, for the spectacle they had spent months promoting, numbered 18,000, about 6,500 below capacity.
The absence of the Packers from Columbus all week had cost the organizers exactly what Lombardi knew it would cost them, the newspaper content, the practice sessions open to the public, the promotional momentum. Lombardi never mentioned this, not publicly, not privately, as far as anyone recorded. He didn't need to. The math was self-explanatory.
What he did say, in his own way, through his actions over years, was that this was not a one-time stand. It was a standard. Back in Green Bay, Lo- mbardi had already made it known to the owners of every restaurant, every bar, every establishment in the city that if they did not serve his black players with the same welcome they gave his white players, that business was off-limits to every single member of the Green Bay Packers.
In a city where having Packers players walk through your door was a commercial event in itself, this was not a subtle threat. When the Packers traveled, Lombardi made the policy absolute. The team stayed only in places that accepted all of them. By 1967, the Packers were the only team in the entire National Football League with such a policy, the only one.
In 1960, when black players on his roster struggled to find housing in a Green Bay real estate market that quietly excluded them, Lombardi approached a local developer and then worked alongside him to push a fair housing bill through the Wisconsin State Legislature, fighting against fierce opposition from the real estate industry and from both political parties.
In April 1965, he submitted a written endorsement before a Senate Judiciary Committee. He wrote, ""On the football field, players are judged not on their race or religion, but by their performance, and this is as it should be. Since I so firmly believe in equality of opportunity in athletics, I think the same degree of opportunity should prevail in other areas, as well.
"" In 1962, the Packers returned to Columbus and Fort Benning. The arrangement was the same, every player together. In 1963, when game organizers pro- posed a segregated seating plan for a third Columbus exhibition, Lombardi simply canceled the game. No negotiation, no counter-proposal. The game moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The message, delivered three times over three years without a single press release, was now impossible to misread. Vince Lombardi did not adjust his standards to fit the room he was in. The room adjusted to him. Vince Lombardi died on September 3rd, 1970, intestinal cancer. He was 57 years old. The Wisconsin State flag flew at half-staff.
