Oh.
This morning.
Eastwall Road, Dublin
Traffic backed up near the Port Tunnel after a truck with a container (carrying ‘foodstuff’) overturned earlier.
An award-winning short by Lightfarm Studios and Area 23 featuring a traumatic, blurry struggle in a strange world.
Today I was handed the most difficult and appalling files ever.
The file shows multiple organizational and state agency failures. More importantly lives have been put at risk.
The next steps on this are very complex, there’s a can of worms about to be opened!! pic.twitter.com/rQnyrQ5DVv

Last night.
More as we get it.
Mark Geary – Dandelion
All flowers in time bend towards the sun…
Dublin-born singer/songwriter Mark moved to New York in 1992 and was a regular at the famous Sin É bar where he befriended Jeff Buckley.
This video was filmed during Mark’s recent American tour and can be found on his latest album The Fool.
It’s a grower.
Nick says: Heavy petal.
So Donald has fired off a tweet
Saying he’s not going to to meet
The Danish unless
They first acquiesce
To give him some land as a treat
John Moynes
Alan Colohan twasks:
…why do unpackaged apples cost twice as much as plastic wrapped apples? This seriously impacts people’s ability to limit their use of single use plastics.
Anyone?
MORE to folly
Pianist Frank McNamara and barrister and former telly person, Theresa Lowe
The High Court, Dublin.
This evening.
In total €2.9m will be written off.
This is made up of €2m off the home mortgage and €900,000 in unsecured debts.
The victory for the couple over a vulture fund will mean the value of their home will be radically written down and they will repay what is left at a tracker mortgage rate of 1pc.
One legal source described it as “an unbelievable deal”.
Stick that in your Steinway.
I have TWO copies of Vera Twomey’s book ‘For Ava’ (Mercier Press) to giveaway.
Cork-born Vera’s book charts her struggle to obtain legal cannabis for her daughter Ava, who has Dravets syndrome and whose seizures are ameliorated by using cannabis oil.
It’s a fantastic read and an incredible story.
Now, we all know how beneficial cannabis can be for people like Ava.
But did you know cannabis can also apparently provide, to some adults (who have no existing mental conditions), profound insights, an enormous sense of well-being and uncontrollable giggles?
In fact, you may have experienced this yourself at some point in your life?
If this sounds like you, please complete this sentence.
