The government think it’s not best
To send Catholic homeowners west,
And while we all feel,
For poor Shane O’Neill,
Could we not put these laws to the test?

Discworld author Terry Pratchett at Trinity College Dublin in 2008
Terry faced his Alzheimer’s disease (an ’embuggerance’, as he called it) publicly and bravely. Over the last few years, it was his writing that sustained him. His legacy will endure for decades to come.

That talented chap, Harry Clarke,
Illustrated a girl for a lark,
But you could see bits,
Of the cheap hussy’s tits,
So the window was kept in the dark.

Bertie Ahern at St Luke’s Drumcondra, Dublin,
The building named after St Luke,
Is a property fit for a duke,
But what happened there,
Would make anyone swear,
And might make the new owners puke.

And by ‘get it’ we do mean horse tranqs for Karl, Clarky Cat for Aaron, a triple-stacked Scooby Snack For Tom, Yellow Bentines for Bodger, a Wee Fella for Emily and a big bag of Mitsubishis for Chompsky.

It seems now you’ll have to hold back,
From giving your children a smack,
Some chaps overseas,
Have said “Ireland, please,
Your assault laws are all out of whack”

Silent but deadly.
de Pater and his team used the Keck telescope to observe Uranus and saw clouds that were very high up. The astronomers were able to infer the thickness and height of the clouds in the atmosphere, as well as their composition. As the clouds rose higher, methane gas condensed into methane ice to make them glow so brightly that even amateur astronomers could view them from Earth.

Surgeon Dr Gabrielle McMullin
Trainee medics should not express shock,
If approached by a senior doc,
Your career’s on the line,
If you don’t please the swine,
So kneel down and take care of his cock.
