The Golden Globe nominations are being have been announced…

Carlow actress Saoirse Ronan has been nominated for the category Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical of Comedy, for her role in Lady Bird.

Saoirse’s nomination was announced with a little difficulty by actress Alfre Woodward when she called her ‘Sheer-sa’ before correcting herself.

She did try and tell them, in fairness.

Meanwhile Kilkenny’s Cartoon Saloon’s The Breadwinner has also been nominated for Best Motion Picture (Animated).

And Martin McDonagh is up for Best Director in a Motion Picture with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Yay!

“In 2012, before Luas Cross City construction began, the NTA commissioned a report on the integration of cycling & trams. Here are that report’s recommendations. Nowhere in the report is a ban or “dismount” of cyclists recommended or even referenced. Nowhere.”

The Luas on O’Connell Street, Dublin

This morning was the first Monday of the new Luas cross city service.

So how did that go?

Well.

Conor Pope, in The Irish Times, reports:

A traffic signalling failure in Dublin caused traffic chaos across the city on Monday morning, the first weekday of the new Luas cross city service.

Dublin City Council, the Luas and the Garda traffic division are all working to deal with the signalling failure which has seen the new tram line get off to a very rocky start on its first day of ferrying serious volumes of commuter traffic.

Oh.

Yikes.
