Dáil meant to begin at 10:30 to debate legislation to remove IBRC roadblocks – but it’s 10.53 and we haven’t got the quorum of 20 to begin

Nine TDs from Fianna Fail but only three from Fine Gael, plus Catherine Murphy and Paul Murphy. Even if Ceann Comhairle included, four short

Clerk does a quick head count and determines there are 19 in the chamber – the Ceann Comhairle makes 20 and we’re underway, 39 minutes late

Ghostking – released new EP
What you may need to know…
01. Oddball, noisy/reverby pop is the order of the day for Cork’s Matt Corrigan, operating under the pseudonym Ghostking.
02. Surfacing as a solo project from Cork’s diminutive but feverishly active all-ages music scene, Corrigan garnered local attention with a (since deleted) debut EP earlier this year.
03. Streaming above is new extended-player Journal of Public Affairs, available now for free download.
04. You know you’re onto something when an artist willingly labels themselves as “Post-Mortem”. In fairness.
Verdict: All manner of hyper-self-aware sarcasm, alongside a healthy disregard for anyone else’s opinion on same, married to some nicely barebones songwriting.
