MICHAEL JACKSON - MICHAEL JACKSON IN IRELAND

Pop superstar MICHAEL JACKSON has spent the weekend in Ireland, sparking rumours he his house-hunting there. The singer has lived in the Middle East since he was acquitted of child molestation charges last year (05). But he recently signed a management deal with British-based music boss GUY HOLMES and could be keen to base himself in Europe. Jackson, who flew from Paris, France into Ireland's Cork Airport on Friday (23JUN06), has also asked for tickets to BOB DYLAN concerts in Cork and Kilkenny this week. The 47-year-old arrived on a scheduled Air Lingus flight accompanied by his three children PARIS, PRINCE MICHAEL and PRINCE MICHAEL II.
