Devolved.
By Adam Brennan and Colin Fleming
Made during and about the Covid-19 lockdown, Devolved is ‘the worlds first Zoom and Whatsapp directed film’.
In fairness.
Thanks Gorugeen Fingletons

This morning.
A 1,500-word apology “to the people of Caherciveen” for what has unfolded at a direct provision centre in has been published in newspapers, including The Kerryman and The Irish Examiner.
Since April, 25 people in the former Skellig Star Hotel in Cahersiveen, including three staff, have been infected with Covid-19.
The letter can be read in full here

Imagine how it might feel to wake up in the Skellig Star Hotel this morning and read this apology – to the people of cahersiveen – from the minister who has endangered you & your child. He mentions a 12-month contract. And mentions you are forbidden to leave. Imagine. https://t.co/gDtsdUyaRu

The apology should be to the actual people living in the hotel who have suffered above all others not just the local community.
On the 25 May, 69 people, including 9 children, will have been in ‘quarantine’ for one month. https://t.co/phHfF2Rir5

He should be apologising to the victims that are trying to exist in those awful conditions. #enddirectprovision @masi_asylum https://t.co/sDxxEAMiRb

Hi @TodayRadioRTE Can you please ask @CharlieFlanagan why he used hard pressed taxpayer’s money to pay for an ‘advertisement’ ‘open letter’ instead of being accountable & doing an interview with local journalist? Journalism & Accountability extremely important in #COVID19 https://t.co/gDmyA1zK73

So the Minister for Justice has nothing to say to the residents that were illegally locked into that centre when they put a chain on the gates. That was like something Oliver J would do.

This morning.
RTÉ’s Fiachra Ó Cionnaith reports:
Four Green Party councillors have written to deputy leader Catherine Martin “urging” her to challenge Eamon Ryan for the leadership of the party.
Cork City and County Councillors Lorna Bogue, Oliver Moran, Colette Finn and Liam Quaide wrote to Ms Martin yesterday evening, saying they believe she and not Mr Ryan is “prepared to make difficult choices for the greater good”.
“In February, Ireland voted for change. We believe with your style of leadership, your convictions and your work ethic, you are the right person to lead the Green Party,” reads the letter, which has been seen by RTÉ News.

Menthol health alert.
Your first ciggy.
Banned at Midnight.
The law change comes as part of new EU Tobacco Product Directive laws, which mean products for sale can no longer include ingredients that would make smoking more palatable by masking the taste of tobacco.
The move has been in the pipeline for a number of years, with the prohibition contained in the EU (Manufacture, Presentation and Sale of Tobacco and Related Products) Regulations 2016 made by the Minister for Health in 2016.
Simon Harris said: “The pleasant taste of menthol masks the true taste of tobacco and might attract first-time smokers or keep people smoking who might wish to quit.”
He’s correct of course.
Nothing beats the true taste of tobacco.

Larry Dunne at Green Street Courthouse, Dublin in 1985
This afternoon.
Drug dealer Larry Dunne is dead.
Via RTÉ:
Dunne had more than 40 criminal convictions including convictions for supplying heroin and cocaine. The 72year-old began supplying heroin in Dublin after it became widely available in Europe following the Iranian revolution.
Dunne was the first drug dealer in Dublin to organise groups of young “runners” on the streets and in the flat complexes to supply heroin. He therefore earned the moniker “Larry doesn’t carry”
