There is a place you’ll find, you might find it when half alive/But it’ll make you dance and keep you dancin like it’s your last/Down and round and down and round the trail will wind/You see the lights ahead the shoes that tread in time to the grind

Two Facebook staff outside the company’s Dublin HQ at Grand Canal Dock this afternoon. Up to 400 Irish workers are the beneficiaries of a windfall said to amount to a couple of hundred thousand euro a piece after today’s IPO.

Damn get-rich-quick, privacy-baiting hipsters.

Regarding the possibility of a ‘second vote’ a Libertas Institute spokesman said:

“He [Richard Bruton] admits that Ireland can vote on this deal later in the year – meaning that the Irish people are free to hold their cards until we know what other EU countries are putting on the table. Dozens of experts have called for the postponement of this referendum. It’s now clear that the only choice for Ireland is to tell the Government to wait, seek a deal that tackles our real problem – the bank debt – and come back to us later in the year. This can only be done with a calm, rational ‘NO’ on 31 May.”
