Tánaiste Joan Burton in Cork County Hall this morning to discuss the future of Ireland’s economic recovery.
Pause.
Ms Burton is also expected to launch the first Bia Food Initiative warehouse, otherwise known as a food bank, in Little Island, Cork at 3pm.
Good times.

UPDATE:
Heard that @pmessy pointed out on air on @C103Cork that Joan Burton should have been coming down here to CLOSE not open a food bank. Yes!

Originally from Dublin – myself & sister are now based in Berlin, working at an online fashion jewellery website Project J that I set up a year ago. We work with small, independent designers & brands to offer our customers a mix of eclectic & unique style of fashion jewellery at very affordable prices. You don’t have to spend a fortune to own something beautiful.
We’ve just launched our Christmas shop & I was wondering if you guys could give it a bit of a shout out? We’d also like to offer Broadsheet readers 10% off their Xmas shopping – simply pop in the code ‘broadsheet’ at check out to get the discount.
And we’re also on the look out for new designers, and I’d love to get some more Irish talent involved – So would be great to hear from any designers/brands that want to get in touch. We’re expanding into other women’s accessories in the New Years so want to speak with a whole host of new design talent!

Saw Bodger’s post earlier with the Aer Corps aerial photos of the snow that fell on this day back in 2010Thought you might like to feature this video I shot and edited of the fresh snowfall around the Dublin Docklands that evening. The music is ‘Wired, Islands’ by the amazing Sacred Animals from Wexford .

The Finnish Parliament has approved a bill allowing same-sex marriage. The vote was 105 to 92, with one MP absent…The unprecedented outcome marks the first time that a citizens’ initiative has received lawmakers’ blessing to be written into the law books. It also allows Finland to finally catch up with its Nordic peers, all of which have already legalised gay marriage.
The result was a sweet triumph for the thousands of supporters of marriage equality who gathered around the Parliament this afternoon. Many of them waved rainbow-coloured flags and banners. Shouts of “I do!” – the battle cry of the movement – echoed through the streets. Opponents of the measure also turned out for the session, but found themselves vastly outnumbered.

Does your pet like to get all Christmassy? Pets at Xmas marked ‘My Pet At Xmas’ to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie.
And did you lose your bag?
The Chowder Company writes:
I know you don’t normally do this sort of thing but a man left a bag of what looks like Christmas gifts for a lady in a Peter Mark bag beside our stall at the Christmas Market in Stephen’s Green yesterday. There was some hair products, a receipt and also an empty HTC phone case. We have the bag safe at our stall if the owner would like to retrieve it. The rightful owner can identify themselves by telling us which branch of Peter Mark they bought the items!
Anyone?
