Following a long, hot summer which saw many Dublin children and teenagers cool off in Dublin’s Royal Canal, Dublin adult Terry Fagan reflects on his days as a youth spent ‘down the canal’ with his mates.
He said:
“That was our adventure park, that was where we enjoyed ourselves, that’s where we grew up and we became men…you got really brave when the girls came around cause you didn’t want to be seen as cowards but you’d wait for some fool to try it first. If he came up out of the water, then you knew it was OK…There’d be many a dream held on that canal bank, you know, cause people would be planning their lives, you know, what they’re going to do and that, ‘we’re gonna travel the world together’, ‘we’re gonna do this’ and ‘we’re gonna do that’, you’re gonna be something…”

Such is the power of Heisenberg that, when ‘Granite State’ – the penultimate episode of the series – referenced a fictional article in The New York Times by Andrew Ross Sorkin concerning Walter White’s link with Gray Matter Industries, Andrew Ross Sorkin of the actual New York Times wrote the ‘article’.
Little known except to a small cadre of industry insiders, the Schwartzes have been scrambling in recent weeks to keep a long-running secret from being revealed. Gray Matter’s stock has sunk over the last week as speculation has mounted that the company could be tied to a drug kingpin in Albuquerque who has made national headlines: Walter White, the former chemistry teacher turned international methamphetamine dealer known as “Heisenberg.”

Before July of this year thousands of legally resident non-EU migrant children, who had grown up, gone to secondary school and in some cases, primary school in Ireland, were forced to pay expensive international third-level fees.
While also being barred from applying for grants – thus preventing many from attending college.
In July, following a sustained campaign by the Migrant Right Centre of Ireland’s Migrant Education Access group – which involved researching, strategising, appearing in the media and meeting with politicians and policymakers – the MEA group won a major concession from Education Minister Ruairi Quinn.
The right to be treated the same crappy way as any Irish student entering third-level education.
Mmmf.
