On Good Friday last month, Matchu from the Raw Edge Crew and I went down to Dublin’s Poolbeg Lighthouse. The weather was absolutely perfect, so I bought some lino, grabbed the slowmo camera and we shot for a few hours.

“Eamon Ryan cuts a slightly forlorn figure on Westmoreland Street….But the Greens are on a bit of a comeback trail and that much has been evident over the past six months. But it’s modest and soft. Certainly, the Green Party is on the road to recovery but maybe not travelling at quite the pace of those Westmoreland Street pedestrians….”
Irish Times political correspondent Harry McGee shadowed Green Party leader and European election candidate Eamon Ryan for a day in Dublin.
FIGHT!

“This young Canadian Jazz three-piece are steeped in the influence of rap instrumental productions and often cover such tracks live. It makes sense then that they’ve played with the likes of Tyler, The Creator and RZA as well as Bootsy Collins. Above is what they sounded/ looked like last time they were here.”

Can someone give him/her a call?
You may recall a post from last Friday detailing how Millennium English School on Dominick Street in Dublin had closed suddenly, making it the fourth such school in Dublin to cease trading in recent weeks.
RTE News at One has reported that a fifth school – in Cork – has also ceased trading.
The school is called Allied Irish College and is owned by Rezule Haque, who also owned Millennium English School.
RTE’s education correspondent Emma O’Kelly told RTE News at One that she spoke with Mr Haque who said the 60 students at Allied Irish College would get their money back.
In regards to the students at Millennium College, he disputed the claim that he owed them money and said most of the students were coming to the end of their programmes, so he doesn’t feel he owes them money.
Ms O’Kelly also said that Mr Haque denied that he was taking fees as late as last Monday, after Ms O’Kelly said she had spoken with a student who claimed to have paid fees on Monday.
Ms O’Kelly also told how a Millennium student, from Brazil, was travelling last month and needed a letter from Millennium, for the immigration authorities, to state she was a student in Dublin, and to allow her get back into the country.
However, the student told Ms O’Kelly that Millennium couldn’t give her a letter as it had been suspended from the registered list, operated by the immigration authorities. Instead, the girl was given a letter stating she was a student with Allied Irish College – even though the student had never been in Cork.
Ms O’Kelly put this to Mr Haque and claimed the student wanted to move to Cork.
