Brilliant.

It’s that bloke who sold ice cream at Teddy’s.

Kidding. It’s ‘James Joyce’ by Colm Mac Athlaoich, for the day what appears to be in it.

Hoteliers are TRIPLING their room prices this weekend in a bid to cash in on two of the biggest concerts of the year.

Take That will play to a combined audience of more than 160,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday, generating an estimated €50m for the local economy.

However, hoteliers are taking advantage by bumping up their prices for last-minute fans.

The Maldron Hotel on Parnell Street quoted €349 to the Irish Independent for its last remaining room on Saturday night — the same room would cost €115 for a Saturday night in July, or just €67 for a Sunday night.

Tripling.

Way to go, hotel industry.

Tonight with Vincent Browne (last night) tackled the regeneration of Limerick with guests including regeneration czar Brendan Kenny (above). It was a well-meaning and earnest experience for everyone involved.

Not so for the satirical (we assume)  “knacker”-baiting ‘Honest Limerick Man’:

Fair enough.

It’s the only way we could get Bodger to read it.

Ding Dong Denny O’Reilly skilfully avoids double-meanings in this soaring ballad for ‘Queen David’.

It possibly needs a little Luka Bloom.
