Thanks Sheila Larkin

UPDATE:

Rayne Booth writes:

I was at the impeachment protest with my partner, who is from Sao Paulo, and talked to a few Brazilian people living in Ireland to get their take on what is going on. There were and are certainly differences in opinion and politics, but all of the people there agreed that the impeachment is illegal, corrupt and undemocratic. I took a couple of videos of people having their say, hopefully you can post as your readers might be interested.

My [Bossa Nova] band Nova Collective have released a new video today (above). With it, we wanted to try and give a little exposure to some of the exciting and diverse talent that exists among the Brazilian community here in Dublin, through featuring Rose Silva, Kleber de Souza, Diego Piazza e Gabriela Bezerra.

Seeing as we aren’t in it.

So basically being Irish this summer means having to cheer for a for a foreign team. Not the most craic during a world cup as ideally we want Ireland to be competing. But they aren’t so lets get on with it.

But we had an idea here in Atomic. What if we supported other teams that wear green? An alternative #COYBIG?

So we created four posters for Nigeria, Cameroon, Algeria and Mexico
