“I was asked to do an illustration in the Hodges Figgis Dawson Street window for the launch of my new book Fintan’s Fifteen [unveiled at MCM Comic whatsit], the story of the worst U12s hurling team in Ireland (tagline: You’ll laugh, you’ll cry …you’ll hurl!” Out now from the O’Brien Press in all good booksellers) which I did with the help of the very talented 6th class kids Griffeen Valley Educate Together National School, Lucan. The window display will be up for two weeks. All photos of me looking smug by Fennell Photography.”

Magdalene-Laundries-007

RTE reports:

A United Nations Committee has criticised what it calls “the continued refusal” by the four religious orders that ran the Magdalene laundries in Ireland to contribute to a redress fund for survivors of abuse.

…

The congregations are the Irish Sisters of Charity, the Good Shepherd Sisters, the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity and the Sisters of Mercy.

They say they are helping in other ways, chiefly by continuing to provide residential care for about 130 former laundry workers.

A friend of mine spotted that Paul Murphy is being a bit cheeky. He’s sharing an Irish Times article about him on his Facebook, but has edited the headline to make it seem like it’s suggesting that he’s got a chance in the election.

The real headline is (and was, judging by the URL) “Socialist MEP appeals for support for third Dublin seat”. Yet when he shared it on Facebook, he edited the Irish Times article to say “Murphy best placed to take third seat from Labour & FF”. The article and polls suggest no such thing. Harry McGee from the Irish Times actually reckons that the last Dublin seat is down to Eamon Ryan (Greens) and Mary Fitzpatrick (FF), and will just depend on first preferences.

Anyone?
