At least one person has been injured as a chain store’s sales promotion descended into “bedlam”. Asda stores across Northern Ireland were scenes of chaos, according to callers to the BBC.
Hundreds of people queued outside the shop from 05:00 GMT for cut-price goods that included televisions sets which were reduced from £179 to £99.

However, when it got under way three hours later, there was what one woman described as a “stampede” with people wrestling over the goods. There were 24 sets on sale at the reduced price.

Of the 2013 project, entitled Becoming Otherwise, she sez:

“I am interested in the scientific, intellectual and aesthetic reasons behind the re-creation of the animal. I am exploring how each one could exist in a domestic setting by adapting to their surroundings. Through this, my investigations of the animals have developed by morphing animals and other various objects into newly formed creations”.

“It still stands strong on Achill Island and The Mayo News understands Mayo County Council are still waiting to serve papers on Mr McNamara, who no longer resides in Ireland. The purpose of the structure has never been fully established although the wide belief is that it was built as a protest to much of the failings of the Celtic Tiger.

In the middle of the structure a concrete semi-circle is still visible, as is a rectangular concrete  base. It’s believed the second phase of the structure was designed to be placed here but two years on, what will happen with Achill-henge is very much uncertain.”
