Cork fans escaping the city [following the defeat to Clare in the All-ireland Hurling Final]…the Luas queue on Abbey Street goes all the way to the quays.
Thousands of Pro-Choice campaigners march from the Garden of Remembrance to Merrion Square, Dublin this afternoon to participate in a global day of action calling for safe and legal abortion.

In Memoriam

An event in Bray today marking the sixth anniversary of the deaths of Station Officer Brian Murray and Firefighter Mark O’Shaughnessy, both killed in the line of duty on September 26th 2007 while fighting a blaze at a disused factory.
The monument [at St Father Colohan Terrace] which was funded by fire crews from all around the country as well as Bray and Wicklow Town Councils and designed by Irish artist Ciaran Patterson, gives the impression of an axe head, half of which is buried in the ground. Resting on the axe head is a bronzed fireman’s hat, gloves and boots.
RIP
