The Spire by Maxi at Jam Art Prints
The votes are.
Last week, with a new Dublin print by Maxi at Jam Art Prints on offer, we asked for your least favourite public sculpture in Ireland.
You answered in your dozens.
But there could be only one winner….

This morning.
Via Irish Times:
Two years and a month after it first met at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) is to be disbanded.
In a letter to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly on Thursday night following a meeting of the group earlier, chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan recommended Nphet be stood down.
Though Ministers and senior officials continue to insist the pandemic is “not over”, the move is the clearest sign yet that the public health emergency it triggered is coming to an end.
Extremely windy in #Dingle right now, certainly unsafe to be outside. Wind seems to have veered toward the north-west. Conditions intensifying as #StormEunice makes landfall on south-west coast; @rtenews pic.twitter.com/B3whAvM1gr

Storm Eunice hits Ireland.
Oh, the humanity.
Well, really.
No need for the language.

We’ve a ““No More Fucks to Give” A2 limited edition giclée print by Marta Barcikowska to give away to a lucky winner of our competition this week.
Marta’s work can be seen here.
To enter, tell us your ideal day if you could do anything you want. Doesn’t technically need to be within the law but it’s probably best not to go too mad with the answer…
Lines MUST close on Friday at 10am.

Dublin Zoo, Phoenix Park, Dublin.
Via Dublin Zoo:
We are excited to announce the arrival of a new species to the Zoo – Dholes!
This is the first time in the Zoo’s history that it has had resident dholes (also known as Mountain Wolf), and a first for Ireland. The five dholes came from Tierpark Berlin and are settling very well into their new habitat, located in the Asian Forests.
