This Irish six-piece band recently released their debut album Warm Wars, a release characterised by orchestral indie music with lead vocals traded between the boys and girls in the band. Support comes from the excellent Dublin-based trio Dear Desert. You can win tickets in this week’s guide [link below]. Above is a live video captured by Unit1 TV…
Senator McCarthyPaul Bradford (Reform Alliance) called out the Socialist Party on the latest water charges protests this afternoon.
I raised here last week, Cathaoirleach the fact that we were celebrating the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I’m sure Deputy Murphy and his colleagues in the Socialist Party and that ilk wished that the Berlin Wall and all it stood for, was still standing. Because they in their Trotsky Marxist view of the world have absolutely nothing in common with genuine working class people on this island….We must learn from this disaster but we all stand shoulder to shoulder with the Tánaiste and indeed anybody who’s been put under unfair pressure by mob rule. We must never give in to mob rule in this country. We haven’t given in to the mob rule of the Provisional IRA in the 60s, 70s, and 80s and we must not give in to mob rule now of extreme left-wing socialists who look back to a panacea of the Soviet Union and North Korea. That’s their aspiration for our island and it’s not an aspiration that I, and the vast majority of the people on this land would share.
1991 called.
They’d like their college debating rhetoric and striped shirt returned.
Ger is a beautiful 9 year old German Shepherd. Poor Ger was found straying; cold, hungry and completely emaciated, he was in terrible condition and massively underweight. Our amazing vet staff and carers at Dogs Trust have helped nurse him back to health and he’s looking and feeling so much better.
Ger’s story, unfortunately doesn’t end there. Ger became quite ill recently and we discovered a problem deep in his abdominal cavity and we’re unsure just how long Ger will remain symptom free. All we can do now is keep Ger as comfortable as possible and closely monitor his welfare. Despite this, Ger is full of positivity and the sweetest, most loving and affectionate fella you could ever meet! He’s hugely popular here with both the staff and the other dogs!
We would love to give Ger the opportunity to live out the rest of his days in a home, a home he should have had from the very start. He would understandably need a quiet home to help him through this difficult time and he’s great with other dogs, so as long as they’re not too bouncy and playful, he’d happily live with a fellow canine companion. please call our rehoming centre on 01 8791000 or email reception@dogstrust.ie
3. This teaser is not giving much away but is a good indication of what the film will look and sound like. Seems good so far. Snoopy is not voiced by Adam Sandler nor is Charlie Brown wearing a Nike jacket and listening to an iPod.
4.Charles Schulz’ son Craig has written the script and is producing.
