Leinster Rugby have released a promo video ahead of their all but sold out European Rugby Champions Cup quater final match versus Bath at the Aviva Lansdowne Road Nua on April 4th.

It’s all hipster hair, coloured boots and protein shakes these days.

Harrumph.

Free in Cork on Sunday afternoon?

Stephen Kelly, lecturer in percussion at CIT Cork School of Music write:

I know you normally don’t do this but if you wouldn’t mind giving this concert a plug I’d be most grateful! There’s a fundraising concert this Sunday (29th March) at 2pm for in the Cork School of Music, Union Quay, Cork City. Suggested donation €10

Éabha O’Mahony (top) was born two years ago with a very rare condition called Aicardi syndrome – she was born without the corpus callosum which is the part of the brain that allows the left and right side communicate. As a result she needs 24 hour care & has already undergone many operations.

This fundraising concert will feature the Senior & Junior Percussion Ensembles of the Cork School of Music. The students will play a wide range of music from classical to samba (Ravel’s “Bolero”, “Sevilla” by Albeniz and arrangements of jazz and samba tunes by Nat Adderly, Quincy Jones and Antonio Carlos Jobim.) It’s a family event so everyone is welcome! There will also be a raffle…

Prospect Designs company off Camden Street in Dublin have been making flags for over fifty years and are the official manufacturer of the Irish flags.  A family-run business Ken Cairns said anytime you see a Government Minister in their office with the Irish flag behind them, also the flags for the President’s office and the flag flying at the top of the GPO it was made in Prospect Designs. They’ve produced Irish flags which have ended up on Mount Everest, in the North Pole, in the Palaces of Arabian Princes and even in outer space. And also the  famous ‘Angela Merkel thinks we’re working’ flag during Euro 2012…
