A Government survey of more than 1,300 students in five Dublin colleges has found that almost 83 per cent of students are satisfied with their accommodation. The report found that proximity to college is a very important factor; 92 per cent of students get to college in less than 45 minutes. A large majority of students have a positive relationship with their landlord, with less than six per cent describing their relationship as poor or not good. Call to suspend College Bus Gate MANDATE trade union has written to Dublin city councillors calling for a temporary suspension of the College Green Bus Gate, citing possible job losses in the retail sector owing to a critical decline in footfall. The union said figures are down by between 26 and 36 per cent. However, Andrew Montague, Chair of the Dublin City Council Transport Committee, said there is no evidence that the bus gate is the cause of the problem. Teen stabbed in Bebo fight A FIFTEEN-year-old boy has been given a suspended sentence for stabbing another teenager in an attack provoked by a feud over a girl on the Bebo social networking site. The boys 17-year-old co-accused has already been sentenced to two years probation. The 17-year-old started the dispute by making comments on Bebo about a photo of the victims girlfriend and this was egged on by another youth to culminate in an organised fight in a Dublin park in March 2008, leaving the victim with two stab wounds, cuts and bruises. The 15-year-old, who has ADHD, claimed he didnt know the young lad he stabbed but was brought in as back-up and given the knife by the other youth who fuelled the squabble. Judge Patrick McCartan said it was a vicious and premeditated attack with catastrophic consequences for the young victim. By ED CARTy Court orders release of abuse reportALL but one chapter of a harrowing child abuse report set to rock the Catho- lic Church in Ireland could be published at the end of next week. Justice Minister Dermot Ahern yester- day said he intends to publish findings of the Dublin Archdiocese inquiry, with several Bishops expected to be in the fir- ing line for mishandling allegations. A High Court judge ruled chapter 19 must be censored along with any refer- ences to the priests, victims and abuse detailed in that section. The minister said: I have been anxious to put the report into the public domain as quickly as possible while at the same time not wishing to do anything which would prejudice the chances of any of the people involved in these evil deeds being brought to justice. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin warned earlier this year the long-running inquiry had uncovered thousands of cases of abuse by priests. Up to 450 people have made abuse allegations against former priests since 1940. The report was referred to the High Court last July amid fears full disclosure of the inquiry into allegations against a sample 46 priests could prejudice the tri- als of three clerics facing prosecution. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said the court had no power to censor chapter 19 per- manently, adding it will be re-examined in May next year when outstanding court cases should be complete. One in Four, which supports victims of abuse, said the ruling was a relief to those sexually abused as children in the dio- cese of Dublin. Executive director Maeve Lewis said many had been waiting years to learn how so many allegations were mishan- dled. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
