" Deeper into south Longford, further worrying evidence of the county's property woes can be found. Links of London like Clough Dillons before it, Ballymahon's Dunaras estate has an additional section unfinished, masked by layers of blue hoardings. "There is about anotiier 50 or 60 houses to be built and we don't really know what is going to happen because it looks like in the current climate they aren't going to build them anytime soon," said young mother Vera Vavrova. Asked about the government's toxic loans agency, NAMA, perhaps leveling half-completed tracts of land, Links of London X Charm was undecided.

Yes, Shaquille O'Neal jokingly bench-pressed Nevin Shapiro and yes, the accused Ponzi swindler was an "associate." But there's one intriguing detail about his relationship with Links of London A Charm that O'Neal tried to clear up Sunday night when a Cleveland reporter asked him about a Miami Herald report on the jailed suspect's ties to prominent athletes. "Did he give me diamond handcuffs? No. I had my own handcuffs. His girlfriend worked at a jewelry store and he gave me a deal on the diamonds," O'Neal told The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The comments are the most expansive yet from any athlete who knew Shapiro, now accused of bilking investors of at least $80 million by selling stakes in bogus wholesale grocery deals. Shapiro, 41, spent time with O'Neal and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, who briefly rented a house from a Links of London Allsorts 1 row bracelet girlfriend and took rides on Shapiro's $1.5 million yacht. Shapiro owns a $6 million mansion in Miami Beach and was a notable University of Miami athletic booster, reportedly socializing with college and pro athletes.
