Trippy.
Jury is still out on Ellie Goulding’s cover.

Larry Love, (above) lead singer with the Alabama 3, plays grieving rock star Rick Rossi – a new arrival in Galway.
He’s been told that Galway people don’t care about celebrity.

As you know it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of what our children are accessing on-line and thus potentially leading to cyber bullying and exposure to content that is inappropriate for their age groups.
Our new product Skydog (we are exclusive Irish distributors) seeks to solve that problem by assisting parents to monitor their children’s on-line activity, prevent them from accessing undesirable websites and restrict the amount of time spent on-line on all of their devices.
Of course, there’s always the risk your kids will drug you to have more internet time.
