Photographer Franco Banfi‘s shot of a pod of sperm whales at rest, hanging together motionless and vertical in the water.
The whales do this for about 6-24 minutes at a time, exhibiting signs of REM (dream) sleep, an activity that accounts for 7% of their life.
The phenomenon was accidentally discovered by a team of UK and Japanese researchers in 2008.
From top: Sgt Maurice McCabe; Counsellor Laura Brophy, and social workers Rhona Murphy and Mary O’Reilly at Dublin Castle for the Disclosures Tribunal yesterday
Yesterday.
At the Disclosures Tribunal in Dublin Castle.
The tribunal heard from three witnesses – HSE social workers Rhona Murphy and her superior Mary O’Reilly and psychologist and counsellor Laura Brophy who works with HSE’s counselling service, Rian.
The tribunal is investigating claims of an orchestrated smear campaign against Sgt Maurice McCabe.
Readers will recall how an allegation of inappropriate touching was made against Sgt McCabe by a 14-year-old girl in 2006 but, after it was investigated by then Inspector Noel Cunningham, the DPP directed that no prosecution be taken – with the observation that it was doubtful the allegations should constitute a crime at all.
The person who made this allegation is referred to as Ms D in the tribunal.
Her father, also a guard, was a colleague of Sgt McCabe’s.
Sgt McCabe was not made aware of this allegation until nine years later, in December 2015.

Farmer and father-to-be Thomas Power died in an ambulance near Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, as it was travelling to Cork two weeks ago.
At the time of this death, the catheterisation lab in University Hospital Waterford (UHW) was closed for the weekend. It’s open for cardiac tests and procedures Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
Thomas had suffered a heart attack.
Further to this, friends and family members – including Thomas’s sister Catherine Power, above – gathered outside the Dáil this afternoon calling for 24/7 cardiac services in the area.
