Staff in @sundaybusiness will get 6% of the paper if a deal is secured with new investors. Looks like a good possibility deal will be done.

Spotted on a footpath in Spy Hill (no, really), Cobh, Co Cork, yesterday.
Pretty humiliating, to be fair.

It’s home grown and infectious.

Off Stu’s debut EP, Heritage, which will be launched at a gig upstairs at Whelan’s, Camden Street, Dublin, on June 14.
Bonus point: Can anyone name the stretch of Ireland travelled in the video?

No.
It’s a sneaky cumulus pincer movement.
Knew it wouldn’t last.

And elsewhere.
You may recall Colin Harmon, Sonia Sullivan’s chum who came fourth in the World Barista Championships last month.
He works at 3fe coffee shop and coffee wholesale supplier Lower Grand Canal Street, Dublin
And, over a cup of Joe, sez:
We have put together a coffee map that we’ve had done up to help promote good coffee in the city. They were designed for us by Conor & David and it includes places we supply as well as places we love that we don’t supply.
FIGHT!

I’m trying to help a friend with his citizenship application. He submitted it months ago but has heard nothing back. We tried to submit a parliamentary question about it but were advised to email the INIS [Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service] instead.
But then the INIS on its website says
“The following divisions of INIS can only be contacted by letter or telephone helpline as they do not operate an email service…” (via gov.ie)
The minister says in dozens of answers to parliamentary questions on applications for naturalisation:
“Queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information by way ….” (via oireachtas.ie)

OK.
Give me two good reasons, etc.
Speaking to RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Galway Senator Fidelma Healy Eames [above] said she was “confused” as to why Taoiseach Enda Kenny wants to get rid of the Upper House.
Ms Healy Eames said that although she supports the idea of holding a referendum, she would not be supporting her party’s position.
Meanwhile…
Was it for this?
President Michael D Higgins has said comments he made in Croatia yesterday about Senator WB Yeats were not in any way related to the planned referendum on Seanad abolition.
He said the reference was appropriate because the poet had signed a letter to a Croatian sculptor in the 1920s as Senator WB Yeats.
Yeah, that’s what they all say

The protesting crowd are dismayed,
That our army and cops are arrayed,
Alongside the G8,
But we’ll leave them there late,
Once Obama goes home we’ll invade.
