Tonight on episode one of The Insiders (a new series that takes the audience behind the scenes to see how transformative events in recent history came about) we hear the inside story of the removal of the GAA’s infamous Rule 42 which saw the opening up of Croke Park to Soccer and Rugby….
FIGHT!

Deputy Mick Wallace asks the Taoiseach if he is prepared to put the privatisation of Irish Water to a referendum.
And the Taoiseach’s answer.

Remember that strangeness on Sandymount Strand in September?
It was the ‘making of’ a promotional video for Z Charge, the fiendish new “bedside solution” that can charge and store up to six electronic devices WHILE you sleep or go about your ‘business’.
It changes charges everything.
Z Charge Product designer Paula O’Connor writes:
“We have just gone live with the Z Charge on Kickstarter.com – which officially launches its Irish site today. We have been chosen for ‘Staff Picks’ on the site so are super excited and we would love it if Broadsheet readers could take a second to have a look and maybe even back us!
What you may need to know:
1. Andre Allen is a comedian trying to reinvent himself after a series of really bad big budget comedies. Chris Rock is the triple threat of writer, director and star.
2. After Grown Ups (2010), What to Expect When You’re Expecting (2012), Grown Ups 2 (2013) and a helluva lot of voiceover work, you’d wonder where Rock drew inspiration from.
3. The trailer doesn’t spell it out, but Rock and Rosario Dawson’s character will probably hook up at the end of the movie.
4. “Hammy the Bear” looks like something I’d probably watch.
5. This was shot last summer, before Tracy Morgan’s car crash. He’s still recovering.
6. Rock and Jerry Seinfeld getting pulled by the cops for speeding is only hilarious.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Art imitates life.
