Georgia writes:

We are mother and daughter team designing elegant, high visibility rain wear for women and some for men!…All of our products are designed and the prototypes made by us here in Dublin. Sustainability is important to us and we use good quality cloth and collect used inner tubes from local bike shops to make fasteners for the Dublette jacket and soles for the Leggits. The Leggits won an iF International Design Award for design innovation and production quality at Eurobike 2011 in Germany and we won a Brand New Award at the Munich Bike Expo in 2011 for the Georgia in Dublin range.

The Cork News reports:

An exhibition on Sir Henry’s is being compiled focusing on the legendary and iconic Cork city music venue. The project, to be exhibited at the Boole Library, University College Cork from July to September, will curate materials on Sir Henry’s distinctive history through both tangible and intangible sources, including material artefacts and oral histories.

The project by DJ Stevie G; Eileen Hogan, lecturer at the School of Applied Social Studies, UCC; and Martin O Connor of the Boole Library, UCC, is to illuminate, in a fun and accessible way, a sense of what Sir Henry’s was like and why it was significant to the people of Cork and beyond. In short, it will be about the venue’s emotional, aesthetic, musical, cultural, and historical value and legacy.

Anyone who would like to contribute any memorabilia from the club, such as posters, fliers, photographs or ticket stubs can email sirhenrys2014@gmail.com

A Russian newspaper editor has been fined 50,000 roubles (£860) under the ‘gay propaganda’ law for printing that “being gay is normal”.

Alexander Suturin, the editor-in-chief of newspaper Molodoi Dalnevostochnik (above), was found guilty of breaking the law, as the article propagated “homosexual relations”. In being found guilty, his newspaper became the first media outlet to have been found in breach of the law.

Karen Fitzpatrick, of RTÉ, writes:

The Walshes are a warm, tight-knit family from the West Dublin suburb of Strollinstown. Tony (Niall Gaffney) and Carmel (Philippa Dunne) are parents to Ciara (Amy Stephenson) and Rory (Rory Connolly), who are both still at home because the state of the Irish economy has forced them all back together.

Even Ciara’s new boyfriend Graham (Shane Langan) is forced to move in and family friend Martin (Owen Roe) always seems to be hanging around mending bits and pieces, as well as accidentally becoming trapped in the wall cavity.

Website Lovin’ Dublin’s Niall Harbison has created five music playlists from ‘Dublin’s hippest restaurants’, namely FAAT BAAT, on Dawson St; Whitefriar Grill, on Aungier Street; JoBurger, Castle Market; Skinflint, Crane Lane, and Dillingers in Ranelagh.

He writes:

Restaurants know that if they play hip music they’ll attract the cool young people and drastically improve the image of their venue. I’d go as far as saying music is a good 20% of the overall experience especially for a younger crowd. If you are like me and you listen to music all day in work or if you just want to get transported to your favourite hip restaurant from the comfort of your home then check these epic playlists that some of Dublin’s hippest restaurants have shared with us. You too can ooze coolness by slapping these on and playing them for your friends.

Lovin’ Dublin’s community manager Nicola McNally has then created ONE playlist of all the songs.

Listen to the five separate playlists here.

For the first time in five years, the waters of lake Superior in Northwest Wisconsin have frozen solid enough to allow access to the ice caves at the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

With an estimated 1000 people a day visiting, the caves could remain accessible for another month.
