Illustration on the cover of this month’s Dublin Inquirer
Dublin illustrator Amy McGrath has created this month’s cover for the Dublin Inquirer.
Amy writes:
I was asked to put a spotlight on the work being done by frontline supermarket staff during this stressful time.
During college, I worked at my local supermarket and I was lucky to team up some of the most resilient and quietly confident people I’ve ever met; the checkout staff in particular could handle anything thrown at them.
My response celebrates this can-do attitude – with a wink, the cashier tells the reader that she is handling it – and there’s more than enough stock to go around!
AIB drive-in-bank on Upper Baggot Street, Dublin 4 in 1961; how it looks today
Brand New Retro tweetz:
“Ireland’s first drive-in-bank opened in 1961 at (now) AIB Upper Baggot Street D4. Officially opened by [then junior minister] Charles Haughey who then drove up to the cashier’s window and made the first lodgement, a gold sovereign.’
Name that jammer (top), anyone?

He followed this up his with GP on Monday 29 March, but there was no further information. He then followed it up with the HSE through its Covid-19 helpline on Wednesday 6 April and said he is still waiting to hear back from them on the result.

He stopped isolating on 29 March, as he had no symptoms remaining at that point for over 7 days. He noted that when he received his text on 17 March, confirming the test appointment for the next day, there was no unique reference number provided in the text.

He discovered later, on the HSE’s Covid-19 website, that it refers to a reference number being included in the original text confirmation of appointments.

“I totally forgot that I bought these… two Leinster House stamps all the way from Florida. I’m not a stamp collector and I’ve never seen these before… just nice to have! Circa 1949… does anyone know of any others out there?”
