International fans why you so selfish? This is a tour for uk/ireland. if it wasn’t for us the boys wouldn’t even be having a worldwide tour. — Cece (@ForeverYoung1D_) February 22, 2012
Don’t buy tour tickets if you aren’t from the UK or Ireland. This will probably be our last tour before they go worldwide. Don’t ruin it. — ← killed my ovaries. (@CityOfStyles) February 22, 2012
International Fans, This UK and Ireland tour is for us! You’ll have your turn, we won’t buy tickets and fly to your countries!

For €350,000 you can purchase this large city centre building [adjacent to the Mercy hospital] which was once home to George Boole (top) Queen’s College Cork’s first Professor of Mathematics and the ‘Father’ of modern algebra.
The house has been in a poor state of repair for some time and a structural collapse and ‘making-safe’ last year has led to significant damage to the roof and interior of the building.
Now the building is up for sale with Global Properties as an investment site – apparently failing to mention that the building is listed on the Cork City record of protected structures and as such, cannot be demolished.

Further to our disputed item (see comments under that post) on Ireland’s first female superhero, Shamrock (above).
Turns out she wasn’t that super after all.
From Laser Cola’s Top 10 Racially Insensitive Superheroes:
In 1982, Marvel set out to create a character that truly represented the pride and culture of Ireland, but instead they made this. Molly Fitzgerald was given “luck” powers and became the superhero known as Shamrock and she was as lame as she sounds. Though she supposedly has the real “luck of the Irish” as her super power, Marvel gave her a crap life. In one story she is even drugged by her own father, hoping to steal her powers – the shame. Later the character announced her retirement and became a hair dresser. They later brought her back to the Marvel Universe and she was then presented as having become overweight since retiring. Since Shamrock first made her appearance in Marvel Super-Heroes: Contest of Champions #1, she has been more of a filler for meeting a social quota then a true attempt at a culturally based character… and did I mention she is LAME?!!!
