Scenes by Random Irish Photos from the third leg of the 2014 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series on Inis Mór in the Aran Islands, Co Galway at the weekend.

A crowd estimated at 3,000 saw 14 divers  diving from a 28 metre platform constructed over the island’s Serpent’s Lair.

I’m wondering if I could unabashedly promote our inaugural Summer Cider Festival coming up this weekend 4th, 5th &  6th of July at the Franciscan Well in Cork. The weekend is about showcasing Irish Craft Cider makers, to get their names on the map around Ireland. We’re a brewery of the beer sort ourselves but the point of our festivals year round are to promote either Irish Cask Beer (February) all Irish craft-breweries (Easter) and now hopefully a forum for Irish cider in the summer months. I’d be very grateful if ye could give us a plug, and indeed if ye’d possibly drop in on us anytime ye be in cork, we only serve the good beer!

Created by UK inventor Alex Shirley-Smith in 2010 and since developed for mass production, the Tentsile Stingray (€550) is a portable, rain-proof, insect-proof treehouse that anchors to trees, hangs suspended like a three-point hammock and folds away into a backpack when not in use.
