Organisers of The Doggie Do are delighted to reveal the latest news about the programme for The Doggie Do, Ireland’s first ever dog festival, taking place in Merrion Square Saturday 12th September.Darren will host the family-friendly dog-centric extravaganza.
The Doggie Do is inspired by the annual Halloween Dog Parade in New York City’s East Village, which offers the chance for the community of dog-owners to get together – and for everyone to enjoy the spectacle of dogs in fancy dress.
One of the highlights of The Doggie Do will be the The Dog of Dublin 2015 canine costume competition.The Dublin event will also have a strong emphasis on responsible dog ownership. Some of Ireland’s best trainers will be involved and give our canine besties some of the pampering they deserve, there will be a Doggie and Soul chill out area, with a water bar, comfy cushions, and a relaxing dog-friendly sound-track.
We have a Doggie Do ‘Lone Wolf’ ticket (1 adult) and a Pack (2 adults + 2 kids) to give away to TWO mutt-owning Broadsheet readers.

Independent TD Mick Wallace
Readers may recall a Bloomberg report from earlier this week about how a shortlist of three bidders for the largest loan portfolio every put up for sale by Nama – called Project Arrow – includes Cerberus Capital Management LP.
Last year Cerberus bought Nama’s Northern Ireland loan portfolio – called Project Eagle. In the Dáil last month Independent TD Mick Wallace claimed the Project Eagle sale involved over 850 properties with a par value of €4.5billion for less than €1.5billion.
The Project Eagle sale was the subject of a Public Accounts Committee meeting last month and is the subject of a criminal inquiry by the PSNI, following further claims made by Mr Wallace in the Dáil.
Mr Wallace claimed £7 million sterling ended up in an Isle of Man bank account which was reportedly earmarked for a Northern Ireland politician or political party.
Further to this, Sarah Bardon, in the Irish Times, reports:
“An independent investigation into the sale of a multibillion-euro National Asset Management Agency portfolio, named Project Arrow, has been called for by Independent Wexford TD Mick Wallace… Mr Wallace also said he had received a number of new allegations about the workings of Nama and intends to make some of those public when the Dáil resumes in September.”
“A Nama spokesman said any allegation of wrongdoing should be sent to gardaí to be investigated. “Nama can make no comment on the allegations Mr Wallace plans to make using Dáil privilege as it has no information on what they are until he chooses to make them,” said the spokesman.”
