The first woman to cross the line was Carey May, of Dublin City Harriers, who ran it in 2:42.11.

Dance coach Poppin John and The Robot Boys (danish dancers Nick Nitro and Jeppe Long) present a robot masterclass.
Arguably as good as anything you’ve seen up to 1.40, then just plain gobsmacking for an extended period after that.
Kilkenny.
It’s not all Cat Laughs and Nazi pastry.
Danish screen god Nicolaj Lie Kaas, above, will be among the foreign filmerati attending the Subtitle European Film Festival in Kilkenny on November 20-Dec1.
The what!?
Ireland’s newest film festival and a unique opportunity to catch some of the most popular European films that can’t be found at the multiplex. And a chance to meet the filmmakers and stars.If you’re looking for provocative, funny, accessible and smart European films, then SUBTITLE is for you!
This festival brings together a feast of films that will make you see cinema in a whole new way. Many of the films in the SUBTITLE programme have never been screened theatrically in Ireland.
Inky black comedies, powerful dramas, super smart thrillers, rapturous musicals, terrifying horrors; SUBTITLE has them all. They just happen not to be in English…
Harrumph.
Nice logo, in fairness.

Stuck for things to do with all the time saved this Sunday?
Why not spend it with somebody your nan’s age?
Alone, the elderly befriending and housing support service, have asked us to ask YOU if you might use the extra hour to check in on older people living alone.
And, if you’re not too RUSHED, possibly have a bit of a NATTER over a tay.
