Former IBRC chief and FIne Gael leader Alan Dukes (top) and Enda Kenny in the Dail this morning taking siteserv questions from Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams.
You want Senior Hurling?
Enda: On 11/6/12, after IBRC’s review, Dept was concerned about letting Siteserv control the sale rather than handling it itself #dail
— Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) April 22, 2015
Enda confirms Dept of Finance recommended that Alan Dukes be asked to carry out a full independent inquiry [he says he wasn’t asked] #dail — Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) April 22, 2015
Martin now reading into the record quotes from Catherine Murphy’s FOI answer, showing the heavily redacted page to the #Dail [against rules]
— Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) April 22, 2015
Enda: Mike Aynsley and Alan Dukes insisted in June 2012 they were satisfied with the way in which the sale had been handled #dail — Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) April 22, 2015
Enda: There’ll be another FOI release tomorrow which will include minutes of meetings in Dept of Finance which outline Noonan’s position

[Gotta say it’s unusual that the release of documents under FOI would be brought to attention of a line minister, let alone the Government] — Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) April 22, 2015
There you go now.

Washed Up: an ongoing project at the protected Sian Ka’an reserve in Mexico by artist Alejandro Duran, who collects the plastic detritus washed up on the Carribbean coast, grading and rearranging it (in rather pleasing ways) to draw attention to ocean pollution.

The mural at Dame Street and South Great George’s Street, Dublin (above) and A2 prints of ‘The Claddagh Embrace’ (top)
Joe Caslin’s controversial mural of two men on the corner of Dame Street and South Great George’s Street in Dublin.
Now available in a limited number of A2 prints (presumably signed by Joe) for €20 here.
Dublin City Council has sent a letter of warning to Mr Caslin over the mural because of planning breaches, while Dublin City Councillor Mannix Flynn has told the Irish Times it may take three months for anything to happen to the mural because of due process.
Further to this, a petition has been set up to keep the mural.

What you may need to know.
1. Steve Coogan has been trying to break the US for years. He’ll get there eventually. It’s all about TV over there these days.
2. When the movie roles he wanted weren’t coming, he wrote one for himself, and got an Oscar nomination – for screenplay.
3. Happyish was originally supposed to star Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who had already shot the pilot before he died.
4. Once In A Lifetime? Seriously?
5. Partridge aside, he’s never better than when playing himself.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: This feels like a mid-naughties life-crisis movie, possibly starring Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore.
Release date: April 26 (Showtime)
