Margaret Heffernan, Dunnes Stores CEO

Don”t make Margaret angry.

Too late.

It is understood store workers were told to turn up for work on Friday morning but that they would be doing so “behind closed doors”. Management were unable to provide them with details of what would happen from then on.
Betty Dillon, Mandate’s divisional organiser for the southeast, said the mood after the meeting was bleak.
“There is absolutely huge upset. There are members of staff going around crying, terribly distraught, terribly upset,” she said.
“[They were told] it would close until further notice. I believe at this point in the evening notices have gone up on the doors to say this store is now closed.”

Our dog Jack picked up this Vote Yes card that had come through the door and paraded it around the house, eventually settling in my office where he proceeded to eat it. He’s a (E)quality dog!

Josie the orphan lamb gets her Yes Equality on… ok fine, it’s pretty rubbish, but I’m at work and can’t afford to spend much time Photoshopping. Also, I’ve been trying to get her to say “TAAAA”, but she’s only been able manage a “MAAAA” and a “BAAAA”….

A refreshing alternative perspective of the recent royal visit. Seems reasonable.

YoLanger

They say the best way to learn a new language is to interact with native speakers, but if you don’t have the cash to jet off halfway around the globe, then iOS app YoLanger has you covered.

Like Snapchat for learning languages, YoLanger allows users to practice a foreign language by sending text, photo or video messages through to a random native speaker who will then receive it, leave feedback and help them improve on their skills.

Fair enough.
