Universal Pictures Ireland and Jameson Dublin International Film Festival are hosting a preview screening of Dracula – Untold (2014) on Tuesday September 30th at 7.30pm in The Savoy, O’Connell St. Tickets (€10 each) are available online here.

It’s all in aid of the St. Francis Hospice in Raheny [Dublin].

Dracula Untold is Dublin native Gary Shore’s feature debut and cast members Luke Evans and Sarah Gadon will also be in attendance.

Shot on location in Northern Ireland in 2013, the film portrays the origin story of its title character, Count Dracula. Muahahaha.

Gary is a big supporter of the work of St. Francis’ adding that “I cannot speak more highly of the people who work there and the service it provides to patients and families.”

You may recall Dr Ali Selim?

Well.

About the RSE programme in schools Dr Selim says there are “crucial differences” with Islam. It forbids pre- and extramarital sexual relations, whereas RSE perceives sexual relations outside wedlock as part of normal practices.”
He suggests there is “a clash of values” also between Islam and “traditional ways of teaching PE”. In some schools, “under the guise of health and safety, Muslim girls are obliged to take off their headscarves for PE classes, which is not acceptable to them”.
Where schools were “persistent”, they should “employ a female PE teacher and provide students with a sports hall not accessible to men during times when girls are at play. They should also not be visible to men while at play.”

Call for State schools to accommodate Islamic beliefs (Irish Times)

“I’m wondering if you can see if anyone was on the corner on Leeson st and Stephen’s Green [Dublin] this morning around 8.27. I am fuming. A no. 32X went through a red light – right through the pedestrian crossing when a number of people were crossing the road. Before you say, I have reported this to Dublin Bus. But I am considering going to the guards about this. It is a very busy junction and he could see what he had done and there were alot of school kids about. I’m sure they likely have cameras at the junction, and I will go to Pearse st with it, however , I’m unsure they would even do anything., I know this happens all the time over the city, but this morning, well it was so dangerous, people were on the road and had to back off it cos he broke the lights. Any advice welcome.”

Anyone?
