I am writing on behalf of the Etsy Ireland Team, because I get the fun jobs :) Our Team represents and supports crafters, artisans and designers who are from Ireland, or living in Ireland, and who have ‘up-and-running’ Etsy shops.
We are a nationwide team of individuals who hand make very lovely things. Below are just three items for St Patrick’s Day in green, white and orange….More items at link below.

The Alternative Sunday Social Club (which goes down every Sunday, as you might have gathered, between 4-8pm) has set up shop at Toner’s on Baggot Street, with the intention of putting the street back on Dublin’s musical map.
ASSC’s Barry Hartigan writes:
Long before Whelan’s in Wexford St. turned that part of town into a music hub, all the gigs used to happen in three pubs on Baggot St. back in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.
The Baggot Inn itself is of course the one that most people associate with music, but there were also bands playing in Toner’s and The Pembroke.
Now, however, two of those are a dim and distant memory, but Toner’s remains pretty much unchanged and we’re putting bands on there again on a regular basis for the first time in several decades….
Playing this Sunday are blues power-trio The Business.
The Business are one of Ireland’s finest and longest performing blues bands. For almost 35 years the band has maintained a hard working schedule bringing the best in blues and rock to the country. Featuring Pat Farrell (guitar & vocals), Jim Tate (bass) and Grant Nicholas (drums).
Ridiculous.
No one can sleep on that.

Cadbury’s factory, Coolock, Dublin
Strike action over outsourcing continues with a full withdrawal of labour for an indefinite duration.
Three hundred and thirty production staff downed tools at 7am yesterday following a Labour Court recommendation to outsource 17 jobs in the factory’s stores section.
Trade unions Siptu and Unite will begin talks this afternoon at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on behalf of Cadbury’s staff in attempt to settle the dispute.

Al Quds University in Abu Dis, East Jerusalem
Dr Ronit Lentin, of Academics For Palestine, writes:
Dr Brendan Browne of the Irish School of Ecumenics, Trinity College Dublin, will give a public lecture on education under occupation next Wednesday evening in TCD.
He will reflect on his time lecturing in The Palestinian Al Quds University, located in the Jerusalem suburb of Abu Dis. It is the only Palestinian university in occupied East Jerusalem.
With particular focus on the impact of the recent escalation of Israeli/Palestinian hostilities, Dr Browne highlights the disruption to the university as a result and the need for a flexible pedagogical approach to reflect the challenging circumstances.
