I did a month long residency in Tokyo for March this year, and this is a collage of some of the things I saw there. It’s a ridiculously colourful city so I wanted to show that, via disinterested cats in cat cafes, lovely taxis, and Totoro themed playgrounds.
THE once exclusive Belmayne has had the power cut in its common areas. Residents are furious after the lights were turned off because of a row over unpaid management fees. The ESB cut its supply to part of the Balgriffin complex in a dispute over a bill for around €2,000.

So we were told twice by the communications office (above) on March 16th, 2010, that Fr Brady’s role was “to conduct” this canonical inquiry.
That would fit with Fr Brady’s description in the Catholic Directory for 1975, which described him as a diocesan secretary and advocate.
An advocate represents a client at canon law procedures. He must be skilled in canon law and have a degree in same, which Cardinal Brady has to the highest level. Neither of the other two priests who attended that inquiry with Brendan Boland in 1975 were expert in canon law.
That March 16th, 2010, communications office statement continued: “Fr Brady and two other priests interviewed a boy (14) in Dundalk (who was accompanied to the interview by his parents*).
Brendan Boland told The Irish Times yesterday he was accompanied to the inquiry by his father only and that his father was not allowed be in the room when Brendan was being interviewed.

Spotted in Heuston station, the person before me really wanted popcorn.
Was this you? Did you pay four quid for a bag of popcorn yesterday? Or three quid for nothing at all?
Photographer Mike Dotsch, who took this shot of what looks like (but sadly isn’t) a T800 trout last year, sez:
Came upon these fish bones while walking on the shore of Lake Huron near Alpena, Michigan. I lowered my old bones to sand level and caught the sun peeking through his empty, sandy eyes.
Mmf. Also, pew.
BOO!

MINISTER FOR Finance Michael Noonan has rejected claims that he is trying to scare the electorate into voting Yes to the fiscal treaty, saying the Irish people are entitled to know the truth. He said his comment that next year’s budget would be more difficult if the treaty is rejected was a “considered statement”.
Speaking in Brussels yesterday Mr Noonan said some appeared to believe that you couldn’t have a frank debate because it upset Sinn Féin.
“Now Sinn Féin might be afraid of the truth on a number of issues but the Irish people aren’t afraid of the truth,” he said.
That’s right. We’re not afraid.
A No vote would oblige him to reduce his forecast for economic growth for next year, he added.
Aaaaagh!
