DEVELOPING: It would seem that a fire in an apartment overhead Nestors Bar on O’Connell Street has spread to a second apartment in the same building. Details on this are sketchy at the moment however.
Just a quick note to let people know that Gavin and Millie will spend Christmas with their brothers and sisters in Limerick.
95 FM reports that the two children have been granted a temporary release from Our Lady’s hospital in Crumlin for what is believed to be a two day period.
They will return to hospital again for further treatment.
There were fears earlier in the week when Millie had a setback with one of her grafts coming undone, but it would seem she is now well enough to go home.
DEVELOPING: It would seem that Santy Clause has left his Arctic base and is currently on his way. Latest reports have him located in the area of Akola India.

If you remember and enjoyed them from their performance on the Limerick Late Late Show, then you might want to stick a video in and record Sharon Shannon and band performing on TG4 on New Year’s Eve..
The concert was recorded at Dolans Warehouse earlier in November.
Hopefully, there will be peace and quiet for at least one more person this Christmas following a Garda raid in Ballinanty which netted a cache of Heroin worth €50,000.
The raid was carried out as part of ongoing investigations into drugs related crime in the city.
Two people, a man and a woman in their teens were arrested and taken to Mayorstone Garda station following the raid, but were later released without charge.
A file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions and the drugs have been sent to Dublin for forensic examination..
Doubts are hanging over the possibility of Gavin and Millie Murray being able to spend Christmas Day with their brothers and sisters in Limerick.
The Limerick Leader (City Edition) reported today that Millie was due in surgery on Friday after one of her skin grafts “split.”
According to the paper, this is not too much to worry about as this can happen in some skin graft patients, and doctors have procedures in place to deal with it routinely. However, it puts doubt into the possibility of her being well enough to go home on Sunday.
Millie has made great strides in her road to recovery, but the staff at Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin cannot be too careful.
There is good news though, the Murray family have moved into their new home , which has been selected to acomodate the physiotherapy needs of the two children.
Let us hope that even if they cannot go home for Christmas Day, they will be able to go home for a day or two between Christmas and New Years, so that they can get a taste of the Christmas spirit at home.

Hayley Westenra, the singer who never got the RLO airing she deserved. I told you it would end in tears Hannan ! :D
The game of hide and seek between those behind Radio Limerick One, and ComReg is over after nearly nine years.
Following last weeks raid on the William Street studio, Hannan was initially defiant, telling the City Edition of the Limerick Leader that his station would be back on air in a matter of days.
However, he finally conceded to the regulator in an interview with the Limerick Post, saying that he was now finished with illegal broadcasting for good.
He expects to be brought before a judge in the new year, however he did admit that unlike previous encounters with ComReg, the folks who visitid him on the night of the raid were respectful and courteous to both himself and his guest in the studio.
105.2 will not stay quiet for long however, after the final demise of Radio Limerick One, there are plans afoot to start a religious station on the frequency. The station will be called Serenity FM and will be headed up by Father Joe Young.
