Yes I have heard of Delta Work and had heard of its demise from PaddyPower. I presume it was the sports coverage. With Cheltenham 2 weeks away and DW due to run, I suppose it was worth a mention in that context.

Eleanor Maguire obituary: Irish neuroscientist who changed our understanding of memory

But that obit was culled from the New York Times, for Chrissakes.

What's down on the plonkers of d'Olier Street ? Can't they even do the donkey-work of interviewing a few professors and Dublin friends of a dead notable and then synthesise it for themselves ? Failing that couldn't they even find a friend or colleague in Dublin or London and ask for an obit from them ?

Tara Street for a while now. The move hasn't helped, though it's still Dublin 2, my auld neck of the woods.
