Looks like Bertie aint welcome in Sligo, by Irish the students at least: "As Mr. Ahern arrived at the IT, the students, congregated outside the main entrance and foyer, turned their backs as he entered." (have to register to view article but is free)

Been listening to this album by Placebo, and quite pleasantly surprised. Haven't really heard much by them before and as I listened I couldn't help but think of Muse and JJ72. Course Placebo have been around for longer and I don't mean that one band sounded like the other, rather that there was a smilar feel to some of the music.
