A building on Hanover Quay,
Was once owned by you and by me,
But the DDDA,
In a secretive way,
Got rid of it quite quietly.

Bus Aras. First world prices, third world toilets. Photos taken yesterday. I’ve been getting the bus for a few years and the place had always been a s***hole (pun intended)…
Ah now.

“With every member of the public possessing high-resolution camera-phones and the continuing debate concerning future news platforms, the place of the press photographer is under pressure as never before. However if you love the job as I do, all this is quickly pushed aside. There’s more to a strong image than just point-and-shoot.”
Oooh.

“I have received correspondence from Ervia, the parent company for Irish Water and Bord Gáis Networks, which reveals that 545 staff shared €3.7m in bonuses in 2013 but there has been a massive jump in bonuses paid out this year.So far in 2014 Ervia has paid €5.1m in bonuses to 940 staff. Are we really expected to believe that this does not include any bonuses being paid to staff at Irish Water? The Taoiseach told the Dáil on October 7th that “no bonuses have been paid to anyone in Irish Water”. Does he stand over that statement today?”
