“[Radio Nova’s] Morning Glory newsman Conor Irwin last week naively told everyone listening to Radio Nova that he wished his other half had taken cooking lessons. Following the comment, his girlfriend Ciara got in touch with the show’s hosts Marty and Joan to devise a plan that would hit Conor where it hurts. The cunning plot involved the gang posting an advert on Done Deal offering Conor’s “Beautiful Golf Clubs”, which are worth over €2000 for the low cost of €230. Needless to say, Conor got quite the shock when it was revealed live on air that his pride and joy were being fobbed off….”

“I’m an architect and tutor at the School of Architecture, University College Dublin. Together with a few colleagues, I also edit a quarterly journal called 2ha which takes a particular interest in suburban space. Last year, we managed to raise enough money (via Fundit) to publish our first #6 issues. Since then 2ha has developed as a project, having been selected to take part in the international, touring Archizines exhibition as well as the 100 Archive here in Ireland. We’ve presented and chatted about all things suburban at Body & Soul, Offset and TXFM. We also recently edited last week’s issue of Le Cool. 2ha has recently returned to Fundit.ie to secure funding for 4 more issues [details below]. Thank you.”

Meanwhile, the Irish Examiner reports:

Speaking to Red FM News, Helen Murphy [who was born in Bessborough mother and baby home in 1962] said that the only way of knowing how many babies are buried in Bessborough is by digging up the site.

“The nuns said and there was a statement from the Sacred Heart Sisters at the weekend, and they said they didn’t know whether the babies were buried in a coffins or shrouds,”

“They were the people running the home.

“How are we going to know how many babies are buried there unless they actually go in and see how many bodies [there are]?”
