Una said the psychological impact of her ‘revenge porn’ experience has been immense. “There was times he would say he took it down and then because I still wouldn’t talk to him he said he would upload it again,” she said. “One of the comments he made to me was, ‘well at least you’ll be famous’. “He told me he would send it into my employer, so two weeks into a new job I had to sit down with my manager and have that difficult conversation.”

Former health minister Dr James Reilly
…his constituency.
You may recall how RTÉ’s Prime Time in May reported that the people living in Fine Gael’s former Health Minister Dr James Reilly’s constituency, Dublin North, were twice as likely to get National Lottery funding than any other constituency in 2011 and 2012.
RTÉ journalist Ken Foxe also obtained documents showing repeated instances of how Dr Reilly overruled original recommendations of senior civil servants.
Further to this, Paul Cullen, in the Irish Times, reports today that Mr Reilly awarded National Lottery grants totalling almost €500,000 to projects in his constituency during 2011, 2012 and 2013, and that he approved 17 grants nationally against the advice of officials.
Mr Cullen also reports that in 2010, before Dr Reilly was appointed minister, projects or groups in his constituency received €10,000 in lottery funding.
Right so.

What you may need to know:
1. Art dealer Charles Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) searches for a stolen painting with the code to a lost bank account containing Nazi gold. With Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Goldblum, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn.
2. How has Depp never been in a Wes Anderson Movie?
3. If you’re wondering who Depp is channeling here – that would be Terry Thomas.
4. We won’t be happy unless he uses “beastly” as an adjective at least once. While twirling that moustache.
5. Mortdecai is based on a P.G. Wodehouse-style series of books by Kyril Bonfiglioli. Don’t expect a trilogy.
6. @0:37 – we call that “pulling a Cheney.”
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: “Air hair lair”
Release Date: 30th January 2015 (UK).
