“The passing of time is a fascinating concept which happens all around us, at every single moment of every single day. French photographer Laurent Dequick decided to capture these fleeting seconds in a series of photographs entitled Vibrations Urbaines. Each image is a collective sequence of multiple photographs, superimposed together to visually reflect the chaos and congestion of large urban areas”.
From The Gift Voucher Shop:
A baseless rumour that The Gift Voucher Shop (GVS), a subsidiary of An Post, is experiencing financial difficulties is totally without foundation and untrue.
In 2012, the company recorded a 14% increase in annual turnover to over €150 million which follows similar double digit growth in each of the past five years and it is on track for continued growth this year.
GVS would like to assure all its customers that One4all Gift Cards and Vouchers continue to be fully redeemable in over 5,300 retail outlets nationwide.

Taoiseach Brian Cowen and the Minister for Agriculture Brendan Smith on Sunday announced €69 million in grants to support capital investment in 15 projects in the Irish beef and lamb processing sector….which was timed to woo farming votes in advance of the European and local elections on June 5th.
The successful applications for public funding include three Larry Goodman-owned AIBP facilities at Cahir, Co Tipperary; Clones, Co Monaghan; and in Nenagh, Co Tipperary.
…Brian Cowen denied the announcement had anything to do with the elections’ campaigns.“The cynics are those in the Opposition who seem to be so addicted to being part of the bad news brigade that they won’t allow us to put out any good news at all,” he said.

France Football magazine has raised questions about world body Fifa’s awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar,alleging it was tainted by corruption and collusion involving top figures in the game.
To back up its claims, the magazine quoted what it alleged was an internal e-mail in which Fifa secretary-general Jerome Valcke confirmed that the tiny Gulf state had “bought the 2022 World Cup”.
Valcke subsequently claimed a misunderstanding and insisted that the tone of the e-mail was “light-hearted”.
He then kicked a ball boy in the head and went for a spit roast.
