“I do not believe that this house should be rushed into making a decision[ on the Eight Amendment to the constitution that bans abortion] … This requires the most careful consideration by whoever is elected. There won’t be a referendum on this in the lifetime of this government.”

Taoiseach Enda Kenny this afternoon in the Dáil

There you go now.

The Blue jean Country Queen Festival.

Organised by Meath Macra na Feirme.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Blue jean Country Queen Festival but it’s on in Athboy, Co.Meath every year on the June bank holiday. It’s the closest thing to the “Lovely Girl’s Contest” in Father Ted that you are likely to find in real life. Above is  a short video of what our Taoiseach Enda Kenny had to say about it!
