The Craft Candy Chocolate Pen is rather like the 3Doodler or LIX pen except that it extrudes chocolate.

Sinn Féin and Fine Gael.
Together – on graph paper – at last.
The crucial thing is the maths. In the next Dail, a potential Government needs about 80 seats to form a majority and clearly neither FG, SF nor FF can form a Government on their own.
Converting this week’s poll figures into seats would go as follows: FG at 47, Independents and others at 42, SF at 33, FF at 31, Labour at 4 and Greens at 1.
If you combine FG and SF, you get the magic 80. Otherwise, a combination of FF and FG would come close to it, but, despite their similarity, this would be an almost impossible coalition to imagine, given the historical differences and utter resistance by the memberships of both parties.
However, there are few other feasible alternatives. FG is still saying publicly that it wishes to continue governing with the Labour Party, but given the latter’s decimation, this would be almost impossible, unless there were other elements in the coalition. And it is difficult to see SF sharing power with Labour, or vice versa. There is an equal antipathy between rival Republican parties FF and SF, of course…

This is Molly Malone, she was found on the street yesterday on her own in Dublin 2 and is the first duckling to come into the shelter this year. Molly has been cared for overnight but is very distressed without her family. This morning our inspectors are trying to rescue what we believe to be the rest of the family on a building site again in Dublin 2. This is a very difficult rescue so we will have to wait to see if they are successful We will keep you posted….

A friend of mine is fighting for the WBC [World Boxing Council] Women’s International Bantamweight Title on March 6th in Berlin [Germany]. Christina McMahon is taking on Aniya Seka
Christina has a pretty good chance, she’s ranked no. 2 in Europe and no. 9 worldwide. She’s Ireland’s only professional female boxer so given the interest in Katie Taylor in the amateur end of things, I’m sure people would like to know we’ve also a female boxer on the professional scene. Here’s a great interview charting her career…
This morning.
The already hated Irish Times paywall kicks in.
FIGHT!
