This afternoon.
Independent pro life TD Mattie McGrath calls Fine Gael pro-choice TD Catherine Noone biased before walking out of the joint committee on the Eighth Amendment.
Any excuse.

The Drummer & The Keeper
The debut film from Nick Kelly, of The Fat Lady Sings.
Nick writes:
I’m thrilled to announce that my first feature film is about to be released in Irish cinemas. The story of unlikely friendship between a rock’n’roll drummer with Bipolar disorder and a young goalkeeper with Aspergers Syndrome, “The Drummer And The Keeper” premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh in July, where it won Best Irish First Feature.
You can catch the full movie in any one of these Irish cinemas from Friday September 8:
Rathmines Omni (my local!)
IFI
Lighthouse
Tallaght IMC
Dun Laoghaire IMC
Movies@Dundrum
Movies@Swords
Eye Galway
Galway IMC
Gate Cork
Cork Omni
Limerick Omni
Just like any Hollywood blockbuster, we need a really great opening weekend. So it would be amazing if you could get down to your own local silver screen to see it – and also if you could spread the word among your own friends and connections….
It would surely be logistically easier to treat the British Isles as what it has always been – a single customs area. Checks only at ports.

Speaking for myself, I want the time from 1815-1914 back. A golden age of unity and prosperity under the Empire.

How dark money buys the news.
Thinktank pays obscure retired civil servant. BBC reports it as "news". Irish "Leave" now a thing. https://t.co/KpUCF90VUQ— Carole Cadwalladr (@carolecadwalla) July 4, 2017

So LEAVE.EU calls him an “Irish Diplomat” when, according to Aidan, he’s the “ex Irish Ambassador to Canada and is not currently involved in any govt department, civil service or political group”
So (as Carol Cadwalladr suggests) who’s bankrolling him to get “Irexit” moving?
Anyone?

The other thing I noticed is that Irish people tend to be really unattractive. Apart from the odd 8 or 9 they’re all 3s.
