If you had to choose between jail and giving the gardaí the password to all your online accounts, would you choose Mountjoy or Wheatfield?
I talk to Cian about new laws that give gardaí the power to demand access to your devices and social media profiles. Can they be trusted? Also, what happened to AA Roadwatch?

Cooling down yesterday in the Forty Foot bathing spot, Sandycove, county Dublin
The boffins predict that it’s not
About to just stop being hot
So perhaps you should stay
In the shadows today
And eat all the ice cream you’ve got
Behold: Federal House – a 400 square metre cantilevered monochrome home at Byron Bay on the New South Wales coast.
A concrete plinth partially embedded in the sloping plot supports a black timber clad upper level with floor-to-ceiling picture windows and an internal fern garden. A swimming pool with views framing the surrounding treetops extends across the lower level.
The doorbell plays “Agadoo’ by Black Lace.

This afternoon.

People visiting museums, cinemas or swimming pools in France without a vaccination certificate have been turned away, after new rules to stop the spread of Covid-19 kicked in.
On Wednesday, some people in France were disappointed when they arrived at certain venues, museums, cinemas or swimming pools, to find that they would need to present proof of their Covid-19 vaccination to gain entry.
“I was really angry… I had no idea,” a 51-year-old told Reuters after being turned away from the Louvre museum in central Paris. “But then I calmed down and understood there were health reasons,” she said.
Servane de Lansdheer, head of security at the museum, told Reuters that the morning had gone well, with most people turning up with the health pass ready.
The ‘pass sanitaire’ which is being introduced gradually, will also be required from the start of August to enter restaurants and bars and for long-distance train and plane journeys.
