Apparently a stomach and entrails were discovered in a bin and everyone had their shit in a knot (ha) over whether or not the remains were human -- it turns out they weren't, they belonged to a dearly-departed sheep, but given the Republic's devotion to the glorious Kathleen Ni Houlihan and the Catholic church, its no wonder they've lost the ability to tell the difference between citizens and sheep.
This would have never happened in Scotland, wasting sheep innards like that.
