Here’s a rework of 50 shades of grey by an Irish company called Harry Corry. Points for effort…
Harry Corry.
He’s no Mattress Mick, in fairness.
Minister for Public Expenditure Brendan Howlin this morning
“Well, there’s one net issue in the Referendum, and that is, should all citizens in this Republic be treated equally under the Constitution, and that’s the one net issue, everything else is extraneous to that. I listened to the spokesperson for one of the groups this morning because I was anxious to hear what was the conscience issue.
There is absolutely no fear at all that any school or religious organisation couldn’t continue to espouse its own views on any religious matter without any fear of any funding being touched in any way. So that’s a complete red herring….”

A wonderful Mum who is involved with the centre and who is doing the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon for us was out training yesterday and lost her engagement and wedding ring.
The route she ran was along Collins Avenue, Swords Road, Griffith Avenue and Killester [Dublin]. As you can imagine she is devastated and hoping for a miracle.
We know it’s a long shot but perhaps one of your readers may live in the area and happen upon them. If anyone finds them they can contact Niamh in The Down Syndrome Centre on 01 661 8000 and she will pass the details on.

Trevor at Dublin-based Igloo Animation writes:
Here is some concept art for a short film that we are going to make, which is now quite developed. The film is titled ‘Jewels’ and it “tells the story of one manically greedy being’s struggle to get jewels from a mountain, how he learns of a different type of jewel, but becomes one himself.” We have very high hopes for this one and I really do believe that this one will do very well in both major and minor film festivals.
