But who’s going to tell them?

So, we decided to burn you and give Richie a bonus.

Bank of Ireland just sent this out. They are following the line taken by Ulster Bank. A ‘Maintenance Fee’ of 5 euro. Utter bastards.

You may recall the Darndale, Dublin-based Irish Adidas test commercial shortlisted for Cannes.

Adam Sherry writes:

Please check out this test spot for ‘Adidas Originals’ written and directed by a super talented, super young and super new Irish Director, Nic Jay of Scallywag Films Scally Wag Films Starring Cici Cavanagh and Pro Skater Keith Walsh. I hope it’s worthy of a post (Especially as our edit got delayed and we missed the deadline for Cannes!)

90304121The HSE Savita report.

Which finds

When Mrs Halappanavar and her husband Praveen inquired about the possibility of having a termination of pregnancy, this was not offered or considered possible by the clinical team until the afternoon of 24 October, due to their assessment of the legal context in which their clinical professional judgement was to be exercised.

From the time of her admission, up to the morning of 24 October, the clinical management plan for the patient centred on the approach to “await events” and to monitor the foetal heart in case an accelerated delivery might be possible, once the foetal heart stopped.

The report says that awaiting events is clinically appropriate – provided it is not a risk to the mother or the foetus.

It concludes that proper monitoring and evaluation of the changing clinical presentation along with investigations would likely have lead to reconsideration of the need to expedite delivery.

Delaying adequate treatment, including expediting delivery in such situations, can be fatal.
