The second cover winner.
Paths to the Pale by Alan Nagle of Yellowhammer.
It’s Busáras, baby.
Alan, who lives in Moate, Co Westmeath, explainz:
On my recent travels to Dublin on public transport, I would at some point end up at Busaras. It’s a building I have always admired from a young age and think it’s a hidden gem when you get past the grimy veneer. It’s a building which utilises many different materials and the control tower with it’s shell roof shown here are wonderful. It was completed in 1953. Michael Scott and must have caused quite a stir at the time!
I develop my ideas through thumbnail sketches before beginning work on the computer. I draw my digital images roughly working with my chosen palette, refine, forget about it for a while and repeat these steps until I’m happy enough.

He [Brendan Howlin] has always insisted that it is not legally possible to target this group for further cuts but declined to even call on them to give up some of their lucrative pensions voluntarily.
It came after the Irish Independent revealed that former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has been taking his full €150,000-a-year pension since he left the Dail, after reversing his decision to give part of it back.
But Mr Howlin avoided putting pressure on the former ministers when asked if he would call on them personally to give up some or all of their pension to the State.

Gather This

Described by Minister for Tourism Leo Varadkar as “crucial in promoting The Gathering 2013”, the contract to design the new Ireland.com site was given to a UK agency.
Costing €3 million to develop, including the €500,000 purchase of the Ireland.com domain name from the Irish Times, the site launched in early January.
These beautiful, oval-shaped animals have eight rows of tiny comblike plates that they beat to move themselves through the water. As they swim, the comb rows diffract light to produce a shimmering, rainbow effect. Voracious predators on other jellies, some can expand their stomachs to hold prey nearly half their own size.
