Duggie the dolphin and Ben the dog.
Best friends.
Owing to the scarcity of other dogs/dolphins on Tory Island off the coast of Donegal and a little thing called inter-species LOVE.
National Geographic has made a video of their friendship here.
Duggie helps Ben swim home when he’s tired.
Mmf.

‘Complacency Revisited’
A Hillen-esque study of a relationship gone all mechanical.
By Jason Kearney, AKA Cuts

But enough about the coalition, etc.

Not only does it have beauty, but it also has Ireland’s largest private wine cellar. It can hold more than 55,000 bottles and not only that. The wine cellar can be accessed from any floor of the house by spiral stair cases. Hic.

In the past four years, 300,000 people have emigrated from the Republic of Ireland; four out of 10 of them were aged 15 – 24.
Half of those aged between 18 and 24 have considered emigrating.
Four out of 10 adults aged between 25 and 34 have also thought about leaving the country.
The survey found that just over one quarter of those aged between 35 and 54 has also considered moving abroad.
