Joe Lee’s pub in Tullamore, county Offaly is putting on a series of gigs this 5,6, and 7 August!
Fantastic line up of local and national original acts in the Beer Garden!
Tickets actually go on sale at 5pm (at link below)….
Behold: the RML Ferrari 250 SWB – a modern day tribute to a Cavallino Rampante classic by British auto-tech provider RML Group.
Built on a highly modified 550 Maranello chassis, the aluminium bodywork has been replaced with carbon fibre panels, mimicking the 1959 250 SWB but reducing weight to make the most of a front-mounted 478bhp 5.5-litre V12 engine.
The plush interior (with air-con, high end sound system, digital connectivity and a hidden SatNav that deploys when required) offers a similarly enhanced take on the original late 50s look.
Only 30 will be made and yours will cost around €1,500,000.
This afternoon.

The trophy design – the number one and a musical note entwined – was made using brushed aluminium and black recycled acrylic.
It will be given to chart-topping acts in Ireland on both the overall Official Irish Singles and Albums Chart Top 50. Some you might even know, possibly.

The impressive, albeit transient oeuvre of UK-based land artist Justin Bateman – great works of art recreated with stones found on the beach and left there for lucky folks to discover before they’re eventually erased by the elements.

Hospitality operators have been told that they must check every adult customer’s COVID Certificate at the door, plus photo ID, and will have to retain customers’ contact details for prospective contact tracing. Draft guidelines for sector set to be published this evening

This afternoon.
All customers will be required to give their name and phone number for contact tracing purposes. This is a change from previous rules, where just one person per table had to provide such details.
This means that restaurant and bar operators will have to keep two information sheets at the door: One for contact tracing and a second anonymised list where they will tick a box to show that all customers at each table have been checked for their vaccination or recovery status.
Businesses will use a digital scanner to check a person’s status. This scanner can be downloaded to a staff member’s phone, or device, from this evening.
It will show green or red to prove that a certificate is not forged. It will show a person’s name, but not their date of birth or any other details, and the information will not be stored.
The official Digital Covid Certificates are the only documents that will be accepted. Cards from GPs or vaccination centres, showing a person is vaccinated, will not be accepted.
