Irish Breaking News

This is just a little experiment at the moment. In theory, this should be a list of the current (or at least recent) breaking news headlines from the Irish Independent, Irish Examiner and Eircom sites, with links to the appropriate stories (the Independent site requires free registration). Eircom get their breaking news from the Irish Times, who charge a fee to access the stories directly on their site.

The headlines are currently fetched every hour (on the hour) or whenever I decide to regenerate the site.
