Burgh Quay, Dublin

Applicants waiting to register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau.

James writes:

“According to GNIB staff this has been going on for a few weeks now (peak student registration time) and they say that people are queuing from 3am (!)  in order to get in line for a ticket (of which there are only 200 per day). Then they usually have to wait the entire day again in order to be seen. Apparently (and this bit is just second hand) the GNIB are refusing to introduce any kind of appointment system this year…”

Anyone?

A multi-denominational, co-educational, child-centred and democratically-run 2nd level school?

In Galway?

Have you been drinking?

Susan McGrady writes:

“We have entered this video promoting our campaign in the Better Together competition. We believe that if we can achieve a very high number of votes for this video (or perhaps even win!) we can use this as further evidence of how much support there is for an Educate Together second-level school in Galway….”

What you may need to know:

1. It’s Taken 3, or Tak3n if you must. This time Bryan Mills must defend himself after being framed for the murder of his wife. And protect his daughter from a similar fate.

2. “My first priority is to protect the only one I have left”. Yusss.

3. When Liam Neeson was in Dublin for the premier of Taken 2 (2012) he told 98fm that he would not be interested in a Taken 3. He believed that it would be tantamount to “bad parenting”.

4. He finally agreed so long as nobody was actually taken.

5. Tak3n has the same writers and directors as Taken 2 (2012). They really have a very specific set of skills.

6. There are some pretty bad-ass scenes in the trailer. The jet having its landing gear removed by the drifting Porsche is one of them.

7. The film’s director is Olivier Megaton. His original name was Olivier Fontana but took Megaton as an artistic name, inspired by the fact that he was born 20 years to the day after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The Hiroshima bomb was 16 kilotons.

8. Broadsheet Prognosis: Tak3n the p*ss.

Release Date: January 8, 2015
