A display at the Aislinn Education and Support Centre, Jervis Street, Dublin in memory of its co-founder Christine Buckley.

Mark writes:

“As part of the display is a doll which was washed and dressed by Christine every week, symbolic of the fact that children in industrial schools had no toys or playthings, a card signed by survivors by a thumb print as many would have been unable to write due to illteracy, a picture of Christine with her European Volunteer of the Year Award, and flowers brought yesterday  by children of a survivor who has left the country.”

I thought you might like this framed photo seen in a South East London pub last weekend. Blackheath is the oldest open rugby club in the UK formed in 1858. In 1890, the same year Gladstone refused to consider Home Rule for Ireland, our rugby team headed over to Blackheath to play a game of rugby with the English team.Anyone know what the score was?

Anyone?

My good friend Michelle has lost her Yorkshire Terrier, called Cali, in the Chapelizod area. She’s been missing since around midday today. Cali is Shel’s best mate and companion and she will be devastated without her. I’m in Australia and can’t do anything to help so I thought I could at least try and spread the word! Thanks!
