On World Homeless Day?
An evening of Irish musicians giving it welly – with a 6.30pm START – in aid of the Peter McVerrry [Homeless] Trust?
Will Liam O Maonlaí be barefoot?
Oh go on then.

So much to answer for.
Fair play though, in fairness.

The formation is not yet officially recognised as a distinct cloud formation by the World Meteorological Organisation but a petition filed by the Cloud Appreciation Society may soon change that.

Mc Nulty’s decision means the Government will now lose the by-election and its majority in the Seanad
— Páraic Gallagher (@paraicgallagher) September 30, 2014
This just in.
I have informed the Taoiseach that under the circumstances, I am withdrawing my name and asking the Members of the Oireachtas not to vote for me in the upcoming Seanad bye-election. I would like to thank the many members of the Oireachtas who already expressed their support for me.
I am taking this decision because I believe that to contest the election would be an ongoing distraction from the critical work of Government which is to secure Ireland’s recovery through job creation and increased investment. I believe the Government’s economic plan is working and the country is now moving in the right direction. This is what all members of Government should be focussed on at all times.
It was my hope, if elected, to support the Government’s work in this regard as a member of the Oireachtas and now it is my intention to seek a Party nomination to contest the next General Election.

Deputy John Lyons called out the Vintners Federation of Ireland AND the Licensed Vintners Association on the price of a pint in Dublin city centre in an Oireachtas Committee meeting earlier.
Dónal O’Keeffe of the LVA claims there are pints in Dublin available for a splutterful €3.50.
Deputy Lyons ain’t buying it (were it indeed available, anyone?).
Lyons for Taoiseach.
Fight!
