The Irish Times reports:
It has been estimated that up to 7.5 million trees have fallen in forests following the severe storm on February 12th, according to early indications from the forestry industry.
The Windblow Taskforce, set up by the Department of Agriculture to assess the damage done from Storm Darwin, has estimated that between 5,000 and 7,000 hectares of forest were blown down, mostly in Munster.

I’m releasing a book called Saint Frank this month. It was printed on a risograph, hand collated and hand bound I also did the illustrations, oh and I wrote it too. Anyway, it’s a completely independent job so I’m also doing the marketing leg work. If you found a space to tell people about it, I’d be delighted. I describe it as a dirty fairy tale. Oh and Pat McCabe, John Banville and Peter Murphy have all said wonderful things about it.

My cousin Jeff Hughes has been missing in Australia – last seen in Perth – for over a month. He’s 22 years old, 6ft tall, slim build, dark hair and sometimes has a beard. Anybody with information is asked to contact the Australian or Irish police. Thank you.

LA-based Peace Cycles concept for the ‘ultimate city commuter bike’ (currently funding on Kickstarter) combining the features of the Dutch urban bike and the American beach cruiser: fully loaded with 7 gears, pothole-devouring balloon tyres, upright seating position, spring loaded saddle, spoke guards, cargo rack, battery lights and riser handlebars for maximum comfort.
Pledge €950+ and you can choose any two bikes as a ‘couples special’.
And you know where to come when they’re both nicked.
