We have Lisdoonvarna’s famous Matchmaker Willie Daly and his daughter Elsha plus we’ll have Mairead Loughman who runs new dating service Table for Six.

We’ll also have six members of the public taking part in a Table for Six style date live on air.

Celebrity Chef Rachel Allen will be sharing the couch with her son Lucca. Lucca is just 15 years old and is the first Formula 4 driver to come from Ireland. Rachel will be talking about her new TV venture and her latest book.

College Green, Nassau Street and and Dawson Street, Dublin 2

A selection of the drab Dublin City Council utility cabinet boxes associated with the new Luas cross city line controversially cluttering up our capital’s main pedestrian thoroughfares.

Luas Cross city has stated that due to access and traffic signaling the boxes need to be close to junctions and cannot be moved.

Fight!

Get her.

Ethel Brooks

Marie O’Halloran, in The Irish Times, reports:

A US professor visiting Ireland has expressed her shock at an alleged anti-Romany outburst by an immigration officer at Dublin Airport when she told him she was attending the Roma Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration.

Prof Ethel Brooks, associate professor of women’s and gender studies and sociology at Rutgers State University in New Jersey, arrived in Dublin on Tuesday.

Of Romany extraction, she said she did not make a complaint at the time because she was terrified she might not be allowed into the country.

…The Romany activist said that when she explained the reason for her visit “the border guard said, ‘right, those people who steal and beg’. I told him, ‘I’m part of that community’.

And he said, ‘well you’ve never been to Milan where you stand at an ATM and they’ll just force you to give them all your money – and you see it constantly in Dublin you have to watch your purse as well’.”
