Eldest son Paddy wins the today's "Most Interesting Life In The House Right Now" award. He's at the epicentre of a tense standoff involving his ex (an M3 protester down a tunnel in Rath Lugh), the cops, the fire brigade, construction workers and the media. Mireille had to get out of her bed this morning to drive down there to bring Paddy a key so he could unchain himself from something or other. The aforementioned ex has apparently chained herself in a tunnel or hole at the scene that's in danger of collapsing and Paddy's acting as a go between between her and the various other parties at the scene.
