Rory McIlroy at home in Jupiter, Forida.

CBS’ Kyle Porter writes:

I feel like he has always been so open and honest about who he is and what he’s trying to do and he has been a bit skewered for it this year, which is unfortunate because that means he probably will close up a bit in the future.
For now at least though, he’s still open. And he has opened his home for us to take a peek. I thought the most honest moment was when he was in the trophy room (which is awesome) and talking about how he has to remind himself how good he is sometimes.

A reworking of Coach Flowers speech by Dublin Rebels, Fergal O’Hanlon ahead of a grand final battle in the Shamrock Bowl 2013.

Fergal O’Hanlon says:

“I rehearsed that for two solid weeks, the neighbour banged my door down thinking the worst, only to find a man wearing spandex and pads clutching some tattered script listening to the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack.”

“A previously unrecorded humpback whale has been spotted off the Kerry coast. Feeding near the Blasket Islands, the whale is only the 23rd individual humpback ever recorded in Irish waters. Its sighting marks the beginning of humpback season in the southwest. TG4 News report. 29 July 2013.”

 

Talk to me not of Blaskets, man.

The eight man Irish team taking part 2013 Homeless World Cup at Lake Malta, in Poznan, Poland, visit the Mansion House

DCTV says:

“We attended the official reception put on for them at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor. We were lucky enough to gauge the thoughts of the Lord Mayor, Oisin Quinn and the coordinator of the Longford Street Soccer League, Antem Eyong.”

 

G’wan the lads.

A study by ‘boffins’ J.D Wood, J. Dykes and A. Slingsby plots internal migration over our little green, rain-sodden plot.

They say:

“We study internal migration in Ireland, an aspect of migration that is little-studied. OD Maps have enabled us to characterise aspects of spatial patterns in county to county migration more effectively than with other techniques. We found that internal migration is relatively local, but relatively national for Dublin. Although migration increased between 1851 and 1911, there was a decrease in more local migration. This work explores the origins of trends that would continue for over a century and had a profound effect on the population geography of the island.”
