Foxes are a true part of our urban biodiversity and thousands of foxes are found throughout Dublin City. Fox dens have been found in gardens, under sheds, in wrecked cars and even inside houses.Sightings of foxes in Dublin city centre have been recorded since Victorian times.
It is an urban myth that foxes are suffering due to the introduction of wheelie bins as rubbish scraps form only a small part of their diet and they can easily make up for it with other food sources.

Manchester United past and present– Munich 1958
The fiftieth anniversary of the Munich air disaster has just passed and is still in the memory of all football fans. This tragedy is an inspirational story because it left seven survivors and brings people together in peace and respect for those who didn’t make it home.
This disaster took 23 lives; eight of these were Busby babes. Sir Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney feel very strongly about the tragedy and both share the opinion that winning the Champions League this season would be the greatest testament of respect for the Busby Babes.
Sir Alex Ferguson recently made one of the best decisions of his long managerial career by bringing Sir Bobby Charlton to speak to Manchester United’s current squad and it was a very emotional experience for all involved.
