Rathmines, Dublin last night.

“Double yellow, outside the Rathmines Garda station, and 20 metres from traffic lights. The driver parked up on the footpath, got out and headed into the station, he wasn’t a Garda. Meanwhile, there was plenty of free parking just around the corner on Rathgar Road. Lazy dumb-ass!”
Meanwhile…
Oooh.
Buckingham Street, Dublin this morning.
Thanks Clare

No wings.
No horns.
Just pure, historically-sound Viking.
More than 500 Vikings invade St. Anne’s Park, Raheny, Dublin this weekend as Dublin City Council hold a re-enactment of the Battle of Clontarf.
Over 40,000 visitors are expected to witness the Viking hordes and Irish armies slug it out twice daily in DRAMATIC reenactments
To mark this once-in-a-millennium event We have an ‘authentic’ Viking helmet (above) – as worn by REAL re-enactors and worth nearly €200 – to giveaway.
The helmet, in a durable metal, has the distinctive ‘pillage-friendly’ nose shield and sturdy chin straps to support the unruliest of beard.
To enter, Dublin City Council want YOU to literally create a Viking ‘splash’ by completing this sentence.

Thanks Grainne Glenney
[Fine Gael Finance Minister, Michael Noonan, Labour Minister of State, Department of Environment, Community and Local Government, Jan O’Sullivan and Fine Gael Arts Minister, Jimmy Deenihan at the launch of the programme for Limerick City of Culture 2014]
You may recall how Limerick city was chosen as the City of Culture without any open competition.
Well.
The Mail on Sunday reported yesterday [not online] how Finance Minister Michael Noonan – a Limerick TD – lobbied for €6million for the festival… before he signed off on the money for the festival.
John Lee and Ben Haugh reported:
“Michael Noonan made representations to a Cabinet colleague over funding for Limerick City of Culture months before he signed off on €6m for the project. On July 2, 2013, the Finance Minister passed on a letter from Limerick City and County Manager Conn Murray to Arts Minister Jimmy Deenihan asking for €6m funding from the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
On October 15, Mr Noonan allocated the exact money requested in Mr Murray’s letter to the City of Culture in Budget 2014 – more than half the project’s total budget of €11.4m…As part of a normal budgetary process, Mr Deenihan would have to seek money from Mr Noonan to grant Limerick City of Culture any money as he controls the Government’s purse strings. Mr Noonan also wrote back to Mr Murray to inform him of his intervention, saying he should be assured of my attention to the matter.”
Hmm.
