I work in a vets in Raheny and we are pretty desperate for a foster/forever home for two special needs cats, Charlie (above) and Ellie [see link below] together or separately. I know you don’t normally do this, but if you could share our post, or even just pass on the info to any cat lover friends we (especially the cats) would really appreciate it!

“At the moment on behalf of the State, the priest acts as the solemniser of the marriage between a woman and a man. Obviously if the definition of marriage changes then this role will change.”

We are a small Architectural practice on Harcourt Terrace [Dublin 2]. and just discovered that our latest project, a nautical adventurers themed bar in Manchester called Holdfast, just got voted No.1 bar in the city! Given the economic climate over the past few years it hasn’t been easy and this couldn’t come at a better time…

What you may need to know:
1. Sequel to 2012’s moderately successful horror. Original writer Scott Derrickson returns, but National Irish Film School at IADT graduate Ciarán Foy takes over directing duties.
2. A young mother (Shannyn Sossamon) and her twin sons move into a rural house that’s marked for death.
3. That’s property bubbles for you. Spiralling prices force countless young families into more affordable rural housing, irrespective of “marked for death” status or not. Thanks a bunch, Bertie.
4. The bogeyman looks like that dude from Slipknot.
5. The law of diminishing returns means that Ethan Hawke is absent. Just like Kim Cattrall in Mannequin on the Move (1991). Or Kim Cattrall in Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1987).
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Boo.
Release Date: August 21.

The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed it was taking measures to prevent abuse of citizens’ rights to secure a passport in their Irish-language name to conceal their identity.
The measures to prevent identity fraud involve including the person’s birth name in English on the passport until a citizen can prove they have been using the Irish-language version of their name for two years…
Ah anseo.
