A whole new meaning to sporting diffusion!
The family of an eight-year-old boy who lost his hurling ball in Donegal last July, whilst they were on holiday, say they are amazed that the Sliothar has washed up on the Scottish Coast. The ball was found by a man out walking on the island of South Uist on Monday.

Any signs in a foreign language should be removed - on roads, in hospitals/GP surgeries, for transport networks, wherever. If you want a public sector that caters for said language, go and live in that country. This is England, and we speak English. Don't like it? Leave.
