Further to the homeless situation in Ireland…
Conor McGregor writes:
“Tonight I will be in The Foundry in Waterford. Saturday, I will be in the Savoy in Cork. Monday and Tuesday, I have gathered my team-mates for a Q and A in the Wright Venue in Dublin.”
“I am donating €50,000 from these events to help boost resources of those who are fighting the homeless crisis in Ireland, as we head into the colder weather. €25,000 will go to the hard-working Simon Community homeless charity. This €25,000 will fund the mobile health clinic for a full year so the people in need can get the treatment they need, when they need it.”
“The other €25,000 I will donate to Focus Ireland which will go towards the Family Services Division which helps family’s in crisis move on from homelessness.”
“I put time into researching both the Simon Community and Focus Ireland charities. The work of both these organisations is unparalleled with the homeless crisis in our country.”
“We have put together a four-day event across the country. Meet fans. Have some fun. Celebrate life, and also help build money to put towards this major crisis we have in our country. See you at the events!”
FIGHT! YAY!

Fáilte Ireland writes:
“With €1m earmarked for the first phase, funded by Fáilte Ireland, the four Dublin local authorities and a collection of private-sector partners, the marketing campaign will centre on a new brand for Dublin and will be pitched at potential visitors in the UK and Europe throughout the Autumn. ”
“This new brand seeks to communicate Dublin’s unique position as a vibrant capital city bursting with a variety of surprising experiences and a destination where city living thrives side by side with the natural outdoors.”
“In other words, Dublin is a city but more than just a city and, nestled alongside mountains and sea, it provides an experience not found in other cities.”
Fight!

What you may need to know:
1. State Trooper Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) investigates a triple homicide in Sioux Falls, Minnesota in 1979.
2. This is the same case mentioned by Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine) in season 1. Meta.
3. In addition to a stellar cast (Kirsten Dunst, Ted Danson, Meth Damon), season 2 also has an organised crime syndicate, UFOs and Bruce Campbell as Ronald Reagan. Well, okay then.
4. No Lorne Malvo though. Sadface.
5. In terms of murders per capita, Fargo has to be up there with Midsomer. Or Cabot Cove.
6. That story about Prince appearing in the movie? Not true.
7. Broadsheet prognosis: Even better than the first season.
Release Date: October 19 (Channel 4).

I know you don’t normally do this but I’ve lost my favourite watch :-( I was cycling in town with it in my pocket and it must have fallen out – coming from the liberties towards Drumcondra via Patrick Street then Dorset Street. It’s quite new but there is a dark line on the strap underneath the buckle. If anyone sees it please let me know.
Anyone?
Update: Meg writes: The watch has been found, back in the Liberties, in the pocket of a hoodie, turns out it never left the house!
