U2 play tribute at funeral of radio DJ Tony Fenton (Irish Times)
Via Newstalk
Meanwhile…
Tony Fenton was a great Radio DJ and well known to the over 35 audience of RTE and to ignore his passing on the Late Late show was shameful.

@rte well done RTE yet again for not doing what your licence payers want and not mentioning the radio legend Tony Fenton on the latelateshow

Too gnarly?
Or not gnarly enough?
Thanks Jack.

What you may need to know:
1. Scientology gets the Alex Gibney treatment.
2. Gibney has directed We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks (2013) and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005). Going Clear is based on Lawrence Wright’s book.
3. You could argue that believing that the World’s problems are a result of an evil space lord called Xenu dumping a bunch of frozen aliens into volcanoes 75 million years ago is no more arbitrary than denying the existence of dinosaurs or believing that St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland.
4. On the other hand, it is out-and-out bonkers.
5. The Church of Scientology is a notoriously litigious organization. Going Clear was reviewed by a team of over 160 lawyers before it was screened at this year’s Sundance.
6. Here’s Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch. Any excuse.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Still no sign of Battlefield Earth 2 .

An aerial drone tour of Hang Son Doong in Vietnam – the world’s largest cave, discovered in 1991 – created by caver and travel photographer Ryan Deboodt.
The largest chamber is 5 km long, 200m high and 150m wide but you get a much better grasp of the scale of the place when the drone occasionally flies over some teeny, tiny humans.
Ah here.
Nassau/Kildare Street, Dublin, this morning.
‘Tis the season in fairness.
Thanks Pepé.
