Davin O’Dwyer, writes in The Irish Times this morning how Mr Carr, during an interview at the summit, moved to allay fears ‘established media’ have in relation to the print versus digital debate.
Mr Carr says:
“We’re in this long dark tunnel, a pretty uncomfortable place, but I think people are holding hands more. We’re all in the same business – we’re all in the news business. We all have a shared future.”
FIGHT!

A television clip showing a Dáil deputy writing notes while driving has been passed on to the gardaí, the Road Safety Authority has confirmed. A number of people contacted the RSA after seeing Michael Healy-Rae answering a call on his hands-free phone and writing on a notebook resting on the steering wheel.
Who grassed?

I’d normally moan in despair,
When the papers report an affair,
I just think it sucks,
But it’s Coulson and Brooks,
So this time I don’t really care.

(Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan)
A man who raped his victim for five hours after breaking into her house armed with a hatchet has been jailed for seven years at the Central Criminal Court. The Cork man forced his way into the home of his ex-girlfriend and threatened to kill her by driving them both into the sea. He also cut her off her hair with a scissors because she was not performing sexual acts to his liking.
At a sentencing hearing, Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan was told the case is deemed by the DPP to “be at the higher end of the scale”. Blaise O’Carroll, defending, said his client wants to apologise to the victim but is too shy to do it himself. Counsel said the man was “very much in love” with the woman and they had great times together. He said he was “absolutely shattered and destroyed when the relationship ended”.
