Wonder if the owners of Oxmantown (bijou hipster café; exalters of the humble sandwich) in Dublin 7 might feel a slight pang of the familiar when they see the branding, and overall exterior look, of the newly opened Stanley’s, St. Andrew’s Street, Dublin 2? I think they might …You Decide!! Fight! etc.!

A friend of mine has self-published some fantastic illustrative books to help children understand other children who have sensory perception disorder (Autism). She is self-promoting these books at present and would love to reach a wider audience.. The Tony the Turtle books are beautifully produced and really relevant in today’s world. Oh and an excellent stocking filler…

Thud. No wonder they were so happy.

Charlene Kelly and Kieran Coppinger in ‘Sanctuary’
Sanctuary.
A new play in the Liberty Theatre, 1 Eden Quay, Dublin [for two nights from December 3rd with a matinee on the 4th] that tackles the issue of intimacy among people with intellectual disabilities.
The production presented by Down Syndrome Ireland , Inclusion Ireland and Galway’s Blue Teapot theatre group is a love affair set against the backdrop of the confusing 1993 Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act.
The act currently criminalises sexual intercourse with certain people, including some people with intellectual disability but does not criminalise sexual intercourse among people who are married.
Tickets here
Meanwhile…
Love/Hate’s Charlie Murphy joins Charlene and Kieran to give Sanctuary a bit of a plug.
