In an unrelated twofer, Lord Wilmore asks:

Tesco carpark, Stoneybatter. I counted 9 cameras…..why 9?

…was wondering could anyone tell me the origin of the name of this building on Trinity Street? Same name as my brother’s village in Tipp. Thanks.

Anyone?

Prefacing his words with the admission that this is a ‘first world rant’, Graeme Kelly writes:

Have an ‘obvious’ sign on my letterbox. If only my car’s clutch wasn’t broken and I needed fast Sky broadband to order a Taxi to Londis, Homestore and Home/Supervalue for a bit of shopping and maybe a Brazilian or Hollywood Wax with a Domino’s pizza afterwards while I studied for my Leaving Cert (again). Or straight in the Green bin (destination China).

Tonight.

The Late Late Show on RTÉ One.

A standing ovation for fearless and tireless researcher Catherine Corless…

Fintan Dunne writes:

“Ahead of  last night’s  show, I spent yesterday in Catherine’s company with Kathy McMahon of Irish First Mothers as Catherine’s husband Aidan plied us with coffee and biscuits.

Catherine’s demeanour then was just as relaxed, but with the inherent strain of it all visible on her face.

Tonight, as she turned to face the deep acclaim, her features lit up like the clear light she represents.

The people have ssued a verdict.

The existing secretive and minimalist Commission of Investigation just slid into the deep on an ebbing tide…

In fairness.

The ballad was co-written by Swedish song writer Jörgen Elofsson and British song writer James Newman. The song was chosen from over 320 entries by a judging panel of six industry professionals.

Classy power ballad or drippy autotuned nul pointer?
