…a holistic candle from the Candle Cottage is your only man.

‘Chandler’ Ingé writes:

I am a Kildare-based chandler, and create Holistic Soyabean Candles. My business is called Candle Cottage and my range includes Hot Oil Massage Candles (You actually pour these on your skin and come in seasonal blends), and Aromatherapy Candles (these you burn like any other candle with each one designed to stimulate a Chakra point)…

You had us at soyabean, in fairness.

Free Friday?

Warriors of The Light is an evening of music, poetry and storytelling organised by Dublin GAA star Kevin McManamon and his best friend Mark Swaine.

The event is a forum where people share stories about mental health, and their tools for maintaining wellbeing.

All proceeds from the gig will go to SOAR, an organisation which runs wellness programmes for young people.

The inaugural event in May included performances from Danny O’Reilly (The Coronas), Róisín Ó, Cry Monster Cry and Stephen James Smith, and this Friday, more of the country’s finest talent will take to the stage. All will be revealed on the night!

Warriors Of The Light takes place in Café Blás (The Chocolate Factory),  26 King’s Inns St, Dublin 1 on Friday, December 9, with doors opening at 7pm and the show starting at 7.30pm. Tickets can be purchased at  link below. Thank you.

This afternoon.

Kildare Street, Dublin 2.

Protesters, including Cystic Fibrosis sufferer Jillian McNulty (above) outside Leinster House expressing dismay at the Health Service Executive decision to not fund the Cystic Fibrosis Orkambi tablet over ‘exorbitant charging’. The drug costs $259,000 a year in the United States.

Meanwhile, inside the Dáil chamber:

….Enda Kenny said there was a big difference between the €160,000 being sought per patient annually by Vertex (makers of Orkambi and the €30,000 value put on the drug by the National Pharmaceutical Agency.

Amid exchanges with the Opposition, Mr Kenny said he did not hear the company say it was prepared to come way down on the price.

“If they are prepared to come way down from €160,000 per patient, well then let us see what they are talking about,’’ he added.

Orkambi company charge ‘grossly excessive’, says Kenny (Irish Times)
