Hosted in Third Space, Smithfield Square, the event will begin at 17:30, this Sunday the 30th of November. We do ask that all clothes be clean and in good condition; no holes; bleach or paint marks etc. Oh, and of course, no underwear. A relaxed yet jovial atmosphere is to be expected & entertainment will be provided by local independent musicians Naoise Roo, Neev Kennedy and Conor O.
The event pays homage to SCOOP’s mandate, of providing education for some of the globes poorest people – thus providing them with the tools to provide for themselves, rather than being forced to resort to default, by joining the under-paid workforce of a garment factory.
A €5 donation at the door, will grant entrance into the event, while some light refreshments will also be available for purchase.

“As part of Pieta House’s Mind Our Men campaign and With Men In Mind event last Wednesday, November 19th, artist Joe Caslin installed a massive drawing on the front façade of the Powerscourt Centre, South William Street which was completed in the early hours of Monday morning. The piece took two weekends to complete and will be up over the next 10 days.”

“Preliminary estimates show that average weekly earnings were €671.70 in Q3 2014, down 0.8% from €677.13 a year earlier. Revised weekly earnings were €684.97 in Q2 2014 and showed a decrease of 1.5% over the same period in 2013.”
“Other features of the preliminary results for Q3 2014 include: Average hourly earnings were €21.07 in Q3 2014 compared with €21.36 in Q3 2013, representing a decrease of 1.4% over the year.

Average hourly total labour costs stood at €24.26 in Q3 2014, a fall of 1.1% from the Q3 2013 value of €24.52.”
And…
“Over the 4 year period, Q3 2010 to Q3 2014, average weekly earnings across individual sectors show changes ranging between -12.1%, for the Education sector decreasing from €889.91 to €782.63, and +7.3%, for the Construction sector increasing from €661.65 to €709.82.”
There you go now.

What you may need to know:
1. Pitch Perfect (2012) was an unlikely box office smash so the [all-girl a cappella group] Barden Bellas get a sequel. After winning The Nationals they qualify for the World Championships!
2. Well, $115 million in the box office and $93 million in video sales smash to be exact.
3. Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld at 0.38. Is she very tall or is Anna Kendrick very small?
4. They are up against Pentatonix this time. They are a real band.
5. Elizabeth Banks is making her directing debut. She is a funny lady.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Glee filled.
