They were passionate about finding a voice for the many female characters in James Joyce’s epic novel. Tom instantly knew how he might reimagine the energy and power of the women of Ulysses and tell their stories through these vibrant portraits of contemporary Dubliners.

Pluto

‘sup?

This morning.

Ashbourne Road, Finglas, Dublin 11

Via Dogs Trust:

We are delighted to announce the adoption of one of our long-term lodgers after a seven year wait to find his perfect home.

Pluto, a nine-year-old Pit Bull cross arrived into the charity’s care in November 2012 when he was just six weeks old. Although he did find a loving home initially, sadly it didn’t work out and when returned, he was often overlooked in favour of younger, smaller dogs.

We’re so thrilled for Pluto that he has found his happily ever after at last. He was a popular pup here and so many happy tears were shed when we waved him off.

Every dog who comes into our care is cherished by our team, but nothing makes us happier than getting to send them off to their forever home. That’s especially true with a dog like Pluto who has waited so long for that moment.

Unfortunately, we have seen a sharp decline in the number of people applying to adopt a dog over the past few months, so we are appealing to the public to please consider a rescue dog

Ah here.

This afternoon.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky has marked the 100th day of war with a video message saying:

“The armed forces of Ukraine are also here … the people of our nation are here. We’re defending Ukraine for 100 days already. Victory will be ours. Glory to Ukraine!”

Bleeper is Ireland’s first dockless bike sharing service

This morning.

Dublin 12.

Kieran Ryan writes:

On World Bicycle Day, bike sharing service Bleeper has  launched a new “Suburban Hub” in Crumlin village.

The Crumlin village suburban hub is the first of its kind in the Dublin City Council area and marks a new approach from Bleeper which aims to bring bike sharing to more areas outside the city centre.

Bleeper has designated a specific area around Crumlin village where its bikes can be parked. This parking zone runs along St. Agnes Road between Crumlin Post Office and Crumlin Garda Station. Bleeper bikes can be parked at any of the 40 public cycle parking spaces within this zone.

Bleeper bikes can move freely outside and between operating zones but journeys can only be ended within a designated Bleeper zone….
