From the Union of Students in Ireland
IRISH students have warned that GAA teams from London, New York and Australia will soon end up dominating the All-Ireland Championships.
Following the weekend that saw London play in a historic Connacht final, the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) highlighted the unprecedented numbers of qualified graduates being forced to leave Ireland.
More than 120,000 young people between the ages of 15-24 have emigrated in the last four years. And, of those who have stayed behind, one in two graduates had no work at all in 2012.
“Behind London’s great achievement in getting to the Connacht Final there is a tragic story of young and educated people who have had no choice but to leave Ireland,” said USI President Joe O’Connor.

@JamieSmythF @carlobrien Lack of abortion = @IrishTimes PR formula for cases of death in pregnancy which appear due to medical negligence?

I have recently entered a design competition in the UK called delight in light. The competition features an online vote for the shortlist and then a judging event as part of London Design Week and a first place prize of £1000.
I have just finished the 4 year product design degree in DIT [Dublin Institute of Technology] and the project I entered is a task lamp that I have been working on since it started as a design project in college.
Your thoughts?
Lose the ‘wood-look’ finish?
