Finally! It’s here.

After 25 years of providing courts news to the press for publication, Courts News Ireland have taken the bold step of creating an online courts news service for all.

Brian Kavanagh of C.N.I. writes:

“We are immensely proud to announce the launch of our website, a dedicated online platform for courts news which breaks new ground in the Irish media market. It is our first foray in to the digital sphere and part of an ambitious plan to bring comprehensive coverage of the Irish courts to our clients and to the public at large. For the first time people will have real-time access to courts news as it breaks and full access to reports as they are filed by our outstanding network of seasoned reporters”. The website embodies Ireland International News Agency’s dedication to excellence in reportage.”

 

Home Alone is a movie, not an alibi, we’re informed.

Lovely tune for a Monday afternoon. Check out Dublin lad Patrick O’Leary’s band I Have A Tribe. They’re supporting Anna Calvi on her upcoming European tour and have recorded an EP.

Myself and one of the lads in work have created a website to generate Irish support for the Icelandic football team, ahead of their World Cup play-off against Croatia on Friday: The population of Iceland is 320,000 (that’s 200,000 less than Co.Down), so I’m making them the 33rd county and I want to get more supporters for County Iceland here, than actual Iceland.
