The Holly Bough (Xmas magazine from the Evening Echo people): Guaranteed Christmas nostalgia glow for every broadsheet reader from Cork. Will mean nothing to Dubliners but what cares broadsheet for that tiny minority of its readers.

Sinn Féin TD Mary Lou McDonald last night

A Deputy called Mary Lou,
Wouldn’t leave when the chair asked her to,
Remaining quite calm,
She threw toys from her pram,
‘Till the rest of the chamber withdrew.

Pulstate is “end-to-end contextual engagement platform for the physical world”.

A What!?

Pulsate founder Patrick Leddy (top) writes:

In the last 24 hours Ireland has risen (for public votes) from 39th place to 4th in the Global Start-up Competition, which we’re heading to next week in Korea. There are now only 5 hours left of voting. Would Broadsheet be able to help us get the word out and maybe move Ireland into first place?
I’ll be pitching Pulsate against 40 of the world’s best tech start-ups for a prize fund of US$100,000 at the international final of the World Startup Competition in Seoul, South Korea.
We hope to build on the growing momentum in the Irish start-up sector to send a message out to the world that Ireland is the land of opportunity for start-ups that want to take on the world!

A new perspective for visitors to Tower Bridge in London  – a vertiginous glass walkway suspended 42m (137ft) above the Thames over an 11m x 2m (36-foot by 6-foot) section of the bridge’s West Walkway.

A second walkway will open in December.
