Haters Gonna Hate
Broadcaster Eamon Dunphy today accused businessman Denis O’Brien of “hating journalism” during his show on Newstalk, a radio station owned by the entrepreneur’s Communicorp group.
Dunphy, who announced he was quitting his job at the station this weekend, claimed that Newstalk staff were being “intimidated and blackguarded”.

The Life And Death Of A Dublin Mural
“T’ writes:
My brother is part of an art collective in Temple Bar. He spent 4 days putting a mural on their gallery wall to cover a tag someone had left on it.
When the mural was nearing completion, a (we assume the same) tagger came back and sprayed over it again. I made a little YouTube video of the progress.
