Out with the boys last night. They didn’t have any non-alcoholic hooch on draft anymore so I had no choice to buy a bottle of this (above).. Yup, €5.30 for a 330cl bottle. Indeed…It’s enough to drive me back to the drink.

FIGHT!

Hic.

Behold: the 1928 Mercedes Benz Sports Tourer: designed by Ferdinand Porsche shortly after the merger of Daimler and Benz, only 146 were made between 1927 and 1930 when the Great Depression put an end to production.

This vehicle – which has been in the same family since 1964 – was extensively restored in 1968 and has been immaculately maintained and driven regularly ever since.

Currently accepting bids from €2,500,000 to €3,400,000.

Last night.

Mother and Baby Home activists Breeda Murphy, Eunan Duffy and Frank Brehany discuss the fallout from the UN envoy job offer to Katherine Zappone.

Ms Zappone served as Minister of Children and Youth Affairs from May 2016 to June 2020, a tenure often marred by criticism over her handling of the Mother and Baby Home issue by survivors, their families and supporters (and the UN).  Not least for her personal plea to Pope Francis (top), during his visit to Ireland in 2018, asking if the Vatican would contribute to costs for the exhumation of remains discovered at Tuam.

This is the 21st in a series of shows looking at all aspects of the Mother and Baby Home Report.

A serendipitously timed photo taken near Arnhem by Dutch photographer Vincent Cornelissen. 

The goose is performing a manoeuvre known as ‘whiffling’ in which – to maximise the speed of its descent – it inverts its body while twisting its head 180 degrees.

Notions, some say.
