“I’m shining for you, brighter than morning stars”
Jack O’Rourke – Shining For You

Cork singer-songwriter Jack O’Rourke releases his 2nd single, ‘Shining For You’ tomorrow, which precedes his debut EP ‘The Other Side Of Now’ set for release in June 2015. This time, Jack peers inwards and delivers an anthem of hope for anyone who has survived hard times and lived to tell the tale. This song shines brightly…
Heavens.

And this is the wedding location.
We give it six months.
Don’t Tell The Bride tonight at 9pm on RTÉ Two.
Thanks Melanie O’Connor

Germany has rejected Greece’s application to extend its loan agreement and renegotiate the terms of its bailout, raising the very real threat of Athens running out of money in the coming weeks.
The Berlin government said on Thursday that Greece’s application for a six-month extension of its loan and a renegotiation of some its terms was “no substantial solution.”

They ruined the surprise (revealing Ed Sheerhan is to play Croke Park) for EVERYONE.
They must pay.
“Despite getting a phone call from FM104’s CEO Margaret Nelson confirming the embargo last night, the guys didn’t take it seriously enough.
“After a difference of opinion, Programme Director Dave Kelly went into the studio at 9am and told the presenters that due to the seriousness of their actions they would be suspended until further notice.
“The presenters have been asked, however, to facilitate their car giveaway final with Volkswagen Ireland tomorrow morning. Disciplinary action will be taken, but beyond that FM104 cannot confirm details.”

A first Le Cool Dublin cover for Tipperary-born, Dublin-based illustrator and designer Elizabeth Burgess.
She loves lamp.
Elizabeth sez,
“I moved up in August after graduating last year from Visual Communications in LSAD [Limerick School of Art and Design]. When I create first I’ll do lots and lots of research, I’m a bit of a mood board queen! Then I’ll start sketching and putting all my ideas together. Once I’m finally happy with a sketch I’ll scan it on to my computer and finish it up in illustrator. I was really inspired by the lamp posts in Dublin for this lettering piece. They’re really ornate and beautiful….”
