Dunnes Stores’ striker Mary Manning on RTE One’s Late Late Show on Friday with Ryan Tubridy.
Mary will fly out with other leaders of the anti-apartheid industrial action to South Africa this afternoon to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral.
Should have been on stage, in fairness.

“Might I suggest that your readers fill their Christmas stockings with their own feet, slap on a pair of runners over that and sign themselves and their mates up for our event ‘HELL & BACK Trojan’ which is coming up at the end of January. It’s the perfect way to rid your body of all that Christmas excess! It takes place in the grounds of Killruddery House & Gardens, Bray, Co. Wicklow on January 26th & February 2nd and is sure to blow away the cobwebs and get your new year off on the right, muddy foot.”

The Toymaker

A rather charming stop-motion video of Italian toymaker Rosario Calandra at work by Michael Dunlea who sez:
Rosario Calandra from Ventrytoy playfully shows us how he makes just one of his vast collection of 100% Irish handmade wooden toys, “The Bremen Town Musicians”. The video hopefully highlights just how labour intensive it is to make these toys which are unique in design and are made to last. Rosario hails from Sicily but has settled in Ventry village (Ceann Trá) in county Kerry in the West of Ireland. This video will be used to promote Ventrytoy at the upcoming National Crafts and Design Fair 2013 (4th – 8th December) in the RDS, Dublin, Ireland.
