The second by Aoife Dooley. (of those Breaking Bad prints fame)
Aoife sez:
“This cover is based on all those unfortunate times my iPod has died or one earphone has stopped working on the bus home. I usually get caught with the school run, so this is a collection of different conversations/words talking over each other that I’ve wrote down on the bus in last few weeks.”

“This [graph above] measures numbers between the 3rd quarter of 2011 (when unemployment in absolute numbers was at its highest) and the 4th quarter in 2013. The numbers in unemployment fell by 75,000.
However, the number of working age people emigrating was 116,000 while the numbers on labour activation schemes (training, education, etc.) increased by 29,000. The total number emigrating or additional labour activation participants increased at nearly twice the level of the fall in unemployment.”
Michael Taft, economist with UNITE the trade union [who acknowledges that not all emigration “can be put down to recession-related factors”].

UPDATE: Protestors clash with Gardai outside the National Convention Centre, Dublin this evening. Three arrests have been made.
“I was standing at the barricades in front of the Convention c Centre, when around 15 Guards burst out from behind us and chased protesters down the street, targeting known activists…Many of my friends were injured and left in a state of shock by these actions. It was indefensible.”
Bridget, a member of Black Bloc [A collective seeking to combat austerity ‘through the re-appropriation of housing, goods and services’] this evening.
