Afterbliss – Empty Spaces
Anthemic synth-rock, anyone?
Then check out Dublin newcomers Afterbliss whose debut EP Unknown Machines has just dropped.
The band comprise Evan Cassidy (vocals); James O’Gorman (guitar); Shane Waldron (bass); and co-founders Alex Burcea (guitar/synth) and Ally Pender (drums).
Nick says: Original synth.
Oh.
The Opera site.
A €180m redevelopment project in Patrick Street, Limerick.

Another piece of Georgian Limerick gone forever…

Those who still rate heritage, urbanism and thoughtful planning will see demolition of the O'Connell house and its replacement with these offices (and no housing) as a basic and anachronistic mistake for Limerick whose Georgian architecture has always been under-rated pic.twitter.com/dvUQtoEwlr

‘There hasn’t been enough progress to date either here or at the 25 preceding COPs,’ Minister Eamon Ryan said as he arrived in Glasgow, adding that ‘non-governmental bodies were right to call that out’ at marches over the weekend https://t.co/odjifdXHmi

Meanwhile…
No mention on @TodaywithClaire of @EamonRyan's double bluff on the PCR test to let him travel to Glasgoy, rather than follow the rules and isolate for 10 days.
Party on!— mark daly (@immdaly) November 8, 2021

Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said that he expects a decision in the coming weeks from Niac about extending the booster campaign to younger cohorts.
Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast, Mr Coveney said that he believed booster vaccines had a role to play in bringing down case numbers. On a recent visit to Israel and Palestine he had seen the dramatic impact a booster campaign had on the number of cases in hospital and intensive care.
As immunity waned, it was definite that booster vaccines had a role to play, he said.“This won’t be confined to the over-60s. It will extend to the younger cohort too.”

Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan
What cases? Sure all positive Covid-19 results have a shadow of doubt cast over them after yesterday’s debacle with Eamon Ryan.
19 months of PCR testing credibility down the drain so a Government Minister can go on an all expenses paid trip to Glasgow. https://t.co/mXKw5M2JuN— Philip O’Reilly (@philthrill69) November 8, 2021
Why didn’t this protocol apply to Eamon Ryan ???? https://t.co/Ik6bN5RjET

If Eamon Ryan testing positive yesterday then miraculously testing negative today doesn’t wake people up as they say nothing will the amount of people who’ve had to miss work, school, holidays, weddings and funerals because they tested positive on the government’s demands mental

Good times.

If @EamonRyan had one positive and one negative test, shouldn't he have had another to clarify? How does he know the negative wasn't the one that was wrong? He just assumes, and goes travelling and endangering people after 19 months of legally stopping people taking far less risk

A vicious bee swarm stopped play yesterday in a New Zealand cricket match
Entomologists seem to agree
That there’s many a threat to the bee
But this bug can still hatch
A plan to end a match
Which must have been funny to see
