A collection of my favourite and best photos from the League Of Ireland 2016 season.
The SSE Airtricity League of Ireland is the highest level of football you can watch in Ireland and despite it being imperfect, occasionally dysfunctional, poorly supported for the most part and woefully financed by the FAI, the success of Dundalk FC in European competition has shown the quality of the football and players in the League.
It’s passionately followed by the hardcore league of Ireland fans and I hope that my pictures do the #greatestleagueintheworld some justice!

So many are feeling the pain
As insurance fees rocket again
But one bright young man
Has an excellent plan
You’re still screwed, but they’ll have to explain.

This nightmare was posted on Taiwanese Facebook group Baoliao Commune, attracting hundreds of comments with the question:
How do I open this cupboard?
How would you avoid being murdered by an onslaught of falling china?
Anyone?

The Crawford College of Art and Design’s annual exhibition for its Masters in Art and Process (MA:AP) happens from next weekend at Sample Studios on Sullivan’s Quay, with a supplementary schedule of events around the city.
Vicky Langan writes:
Found in the Place of Origin will be the last MA:AP exhibition to be held in the soon-to-be demolished former FÁS building on Sullivan’s Quay which has been a vibrant hub of artistic activity in Cork city centre for the past number of years.
The exhibition title Found in the Place of Origin comes from a definition of residual clay. Like the organic material of clay, each artist’s individual work emerged from a combined experience of shared time and space. The exhibition is a beginning rather than an end, and marks the start of a new phase in the students’ artistic practices. This is why the students came to align themselves with clay as a series of residual deposits that collectively form a new entity.
A programme of events organised by the MA:AP students called Removed from the Place of Origin runs concurrently with the show. This Removed from the Place of Origin, references sedimentary clay that has drifted, been transported, enriched by other material and deposited in new places and in new forms. These interactions with selected audiences reflect the diverse range of dialogues and concerns that inform the works in the show.
Contributing artists are: Jackie Burke, Linda Curtin, Cat Gambel, Helle Kvamme, Vicky Langan, Maximilian Le Cain, Lynda Loughnane, Manuela Madeira.
The launch is Thursday the 24th, and features by Kevin Callaghan, a Cork-based ceramicist and arts practitioner. Exhibition stays open ’til December 9th.
