Bad hair.

Good times.

RTÉ Archives writes:

“We are looking for help identifying these three teenagers who participated in RTÉ’s experimental local radio broadcasts from Dublin’s Liberties, which took place from 8-18 May 1975.

The three teenagers are pictured here with presenter Liam Weldon.”

“If you think you can help, please contact us at archives@rte.ie or on Twitter @RTEArchives.”

“The RTÉ Guide of 9 May 1975 published an article about these broadcasts, which coincided with the annual Liberties Festival. Similar broadcasts took place from different locations throughout Ireland in 1975 and 1976, with Liberties Radio again going on the air in May 1976.”

“This experimental broadcast from the Liberties Festival was available only on VHF within a radius of approximately two miles from the transmitter in the Mobile Radio Unit which was located near Taylor’s Hall on High Street.”

You’ll recall how, in November 2011, FG Cllr Darren Scully made the decision to stop representing black Africans.

He subsequently resigned from his mayoral role and was expelled from the Fine Gael party.

Well he’s back.

KFM  is reporting:

“In an exclusive extended interview on Kildare Today, the General Secretary of Fine Gael Tom Curran confirmed Cllr Scully’s readmission to the party ahead of next May’s local elections.”

“During the interview, Tom Curran condemned Cllr Scully’s original remarks, but said that the Cllr is not a racist and that he’s paid sufficiently for his error.”

“Asked if Taoiseach Enda Kenny endorsed councillor Scully’s return, Mr. Curran indicated that the Taoiseach doesn’t become involved with every aspect of the party.”

Watermeter

“On completion the intern will have attained skills in installation of water meters, water pipe laying, use of manual tools e.g. jack hammer, abrasive wheels, etc., and use of computerised mapping equipment. The intern will also have gained insight in the areas of signing, lighting and guarding of work areas and locating of under ground services.”

Last February, Environment Minister Phil Hogan announced that 1,600 jobs will be created installing more than one million meters over three years, starting in July – with 25% of all jobs, or 400, going to people ‘in need of work’.

Meanwhile, ‘non craftspeople’ have paid more that €600 on two-day training courses to install the meters.

Hmmm.
