YIKES!

Enda Kenny’s visit to the SXSW festival in Texas heralded by DublinGlobe.

Dublin WHAT!?

Dublin Globe is your go-to source for tech excellence, one success story at a time. We let you know what’s happening right now, and what’s happening next. We document the Dublin tech ecosystem, from the multinationals to the cream of Dublin’s startup crop, and celebrate those virtual Dubliners who serve as our ambassadors across the globe….

Finally.

A new Irish tech site, created by the Startup Commissioner’s Office and (open disclosure) edited by Derek O’Connor, AKA Delboy (of Broadsheet Trailer Park).  All thoughts/reviews welcome below.

G’wan the Dublin Globe.

So…what are the party’s views on abortion?

Our party has an open position on Abortion. In fact, we will be the only political party in Ireland and across Europe that has an open party position on Abortion. The reason for this is very simple, we do not believe party politics in Ireland has a place for issues of conscience.

Irish Water?

We are in favour of investment in our water infrastructure. It has been allowed to decay for generations. Access to safe, clean water is a basic necessity of life. We fundamentally disagree with how water charges have been introduced and will continue to do so until Irish Water has been radically reformed, and public waste eliminated.

Sinn Féin?

We believe in open politics. That means being open and transparent in every way. Sinn Féin fails to meet any standard of openness and transparency and on these fundamental grounds, we will not consider under any circumstance entering into a coalition agreement of any form.

Renua Ireland

Update:

Gulp.

Currently debuting at the Geneva Motor Show, the McLaren 675LT

Carbon-fibre shell, 3.8L, V8, 0-62 in 2.9s, top speed 205mph.

But more importantly, the only supercar with a ‘face’ smugger than Jeremy Clarkson’s.

Just look at it.

A project we’re involved in at the moment. We’re asking Dubliners to engage with their city, along with five installation across the city we’re having a debate on twitter. All of the details are here.
