As you are probably aware, there is a serious, increasing problem with racially motivated crimes in Ireland, both North and South. I have written this poem that speaks out against racism and hatred and to try and dispel some of the myths about foreign nationals. The real message of the poem is simply that we are all connected – and all have a shared humanity. Hopefully you appreciate the message.

Yes, mapiful.
Type in the name of a town, generate a black and white print, have it delivered as a poster, anywhere in the world for 60 bucks.
Can’t say fairer than that.
More to folly

It’s Summer.
There’s an inverted roller coaster in Meath.
Shouldn’t YOU be on it?

The Summer of 2015 has been a monumental one for Tayto Park, Ashbourne as they debuted Europe’s Largest Inverted Wooden Rollercoaster, The Cú Chulainn Coaster!
Along with the rollercoaster, Tayto Park has welcomed seven new additional attractions! Ranging from the fast paced ‘Air Race’ to the ‘Rotator’, the Honey Pot Roundabout and the ‘Shot Tower’ that will have little ones feeling like they are on top of the world.
Other new attractions include Ireland’s only 5D cinema, screening five minute western themed movies, a three carriage road train around the park and a traditional express steam train track ride operating around Tayto Park.
To celebrate the exciting Summer season at Tayto Park and the launch of the new wooden rollercoaster, Tayto Park and Broadsheet.ie have teamed up to give readers the chance to win two family passes .
Simply answer the following question:
What is the name of the new rollercoaster launched in Tayto Park this Summer?
Yes it really is that easy.
Winners plucked from the ‘hat’ is our working assumption.

I know you don’t normally do this but I stupidly left my 15″ MacBook Pro (as above) on top of my car and drove off from Pembroke Gardens, up Baggot Lane, left on to Eastmoreland Place, right on to Baggot Street and left up Waterloo Road heading for Rathmines.
It’s in a foam case, there was a folder and pad with it which have my business cards. Happened just over an hour ago, have contacted Irishtown Gardaí as well as businesses along Baggot St but no joy. Laptop is locked but “find my iPhone” app which is compatible with MacBooks only works when online. Thank you.
Anyone?
UPDATE: Eoin writes: A4 pad was just found on the corner of Leeson Street and Appian Way, no laptop though…
More as it reaches us.
UPDATE: Laptop found!

Somehow, it’s still in perfect working order with a small dent on one corner. Counting my lucky stars and the generosity and kindness of my fellow Dubliners, and of course the stellar work from the Gardaí in Donnybrook! I will be making a donation to charity as I am one lucky huare.
