“A New Year’s Day walk in Mayo. It was taken on the dunes at Bertra Beach in Westport Co Mayo. The people in it are two locals Laura and Becky, and two Dubs Rachel and Mark who were up visiting for New Year’s Eve. The reason they are in the dunes is because the tide was so high there was no beach. It was taken at dusk on the 1st by myself, another Dub.”
Everything was the same colour back then.

For the sporadic postage this afternoon. Unforseen circumstances. We should have waited until Moday to come back, in fairness. Normal service will resume at 4pm.

Barry O’Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland.
Mr O’Leary has announced that he is to step down from his role at IDA Ireland, the main State agency responsible for attracting foreign direct investment.
RTÉ reports:
“Mr O’Leary said he would be pursuing other opportunities outside the organisation. He said the last few years have been difficult and demanding, and paid tribute to his colleagues for what he called their relentless commitment.”
“Mr O’Leary was speaking as the IDA announced that over 13,000 jobs were created by its client companies in 2013.”
“…In its end of year statement, the IDA said when job losses are taken into account the net increase in employment was 7,071. That is the highest level of job creation in over a decade.”
