Giraffe received just over €1 million in state funding for the 2011/2012 pre-school year and just under €1 million for 2012/2013.

I really do find it quite strange,
For a country that likes to arrange,
The cheapest childcare,
Then when we get a scare,
We promise this time things will change.

The hornless rhinoceros head from the Natural History Museum, Dublin.
On some manner of cardboard box ‘flap’.
By Nicky Hooper, who writes:
So I went to one of my favourite places in Dublin – the Natural History Museum – and had forgotten that the rhino had his horns removed as a precaution against theft. They are making replicas, however in the meantime, they have pretty much ripped them off his head, so he looks a bit brutalised and pretty sad, poor rhino – I think I need to knit him a hat…Hopefully they [the museum] will get funding one of these days so that the upper two floors will be accessible again.
This week’s Le Cool Dublin issue
We may recall last week’s preparations at Eastpoint Business Park?
Well, Westmeath literally beat off {sides from] eight other counties to win the first Red Bull Cúl 5…
…a pop-up five-a-side tournament using “an adapted version of the game” and played inside a specially built 50 x 30m pitch.
Niall Bouzon writes:
Finally got our video up on YouTube. Hope you would be willing to share it. Its a cool project. We are trying to get a five-a-side gaelic football game going in Ireland. It is something that could be played anywhere, in any part of the country. The hope is to keep people playing GAA. We also turned an urban waste land into a pretty cool pitch.
