Anyone seen the new Lidl ad (above)? Another cringey outing for the ‘proudly supporting LADIES’ Gaelic Football’ motto. Last time the ‘ladies’ were impressive-looking club players.This time (above) it’s schoolgirls and teens.
‘LADIES Gaelic Football’? Is there a “GENTLEMEN’S Gaelic Football’ or a ‘LORDS’ Gaelic Football’? It’s ‘WOMEN’S Gaelic Football‘
Anyone?

This coming Thursday, 7UP Free and Happenings will screen the last outdoor movie in the 7UP Free #SummerCinema series.
Bringing the popular movies series to a close in true cinematic style, John Carney’s Irish movie ‘Sing Street’ will be screened in Merrion Square, Dublin 2 at 10pm.
For one final time before the movie kicks off, settle in to a comfy billow bag with a complimentary 7UP Mojito Free, or pull up a blanket and get cosy in the heart of the city centre. Gates will open at 8pm and the park will be transformed with a sea of green 7UP Free billow bags as the sun sets …

A clip from a meeting of the Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform discussing the Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures Bill 2013
You may recall journalist Ken Foxe’s ongoing efforts to obtain the invoices and receipts submitted by 22 TDs and Senators.
He’s been denied access, and has been told the expenses are ‘private papers’.
At the weekend, Mr Foxe tweeted the video clip above and called into question the differences between what was said and the official Oireachtas transcript.
This is a transcript of what was said:
Sean Fleming: “…like we have no problem. Our fobs everyday, I think it’s in the paper, our attendance, from the, our electronic papers of everyday, we fob in here, and our mileage and our expenses. There’s a whole lot of records and [inaudible] that are published.”
Brendan Howlin: “That’s procedural. They’re not private papers. It’s up to the Oireachtas itself to determine private papers but I mean there will be communications that should be privileged. There are things that should not be determined to be private papers. The Oireachtas will set those rules.”
