If you're reading this at a reasonable hour this morning there is still time to get over to the Big Auction at the Red Cow Hotel on the Naas Road. Called the Big Auction because it is in aid of the Big Issues social initiative, it is also fairly huge size-wise, with literally thousands of items up for grabs. After Bertie Ahern does the honours at 11 a.m., you'll be able to bid for any amount of celebrity memorabilia from Oasis, Garth Brooks, The Spice Girls, Boyzone, Eddie Irvine, Dustin, Ash, Ken Doherty and many, many more.
