A selection from an exhibition of new works by American portrait photographer Sandro Miller who has worked closely with actor John Malkovich and  other ensemble members of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company for many years, creating, among other things, the award wining short film Butterflies.

Here, many of the iconic American art portraits that helped shape Sandro’s career have been fully Malkovich’d – a nod to one memorable scene from the movie Being John Malkovich.

Conradh na Gaeilge have started our evening Irish classes again this week, and had a large banner made up earlier this month to advertise them. Our CCTV had some interesting footage this morning though – these lads must have been keen to get in touch and register…

He replaces Edwin Poots.

What can we expect?

“I understand why you’re a little bit subdued today, I understand why you’re a little bit subdued today, because you’ve opened a political movement on the backs of misery and failure in the economy. But the country isn’t failing, the country is growing again and it’s growing very strongly. Now I’ve noticed, I‘ve noticed in this morning’s paper you’ve stated you have another red line issue. First you’re going to abolish property tax, now you’re going to abolish water charges and these are red line issues. Nobody is rushing to join you in government. Putting down a red line issue, it’s like an oul’ fellow walking up and down the boundaries of the Ballroom of Romance saying that he won’t dance with any of those women over there. Nobody wants, nobody wants to dance with him. Nobody wants to dance with him, that’s the position. So red lines, red lines, red lines, you’re joking me.”

Minister for Finance Michael Noonan drawing a wistful analogy for Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn in the Dáil this afternoon.

Isn’t it well for them?

Ballroom of Romance?
