Stacks of things were high on the agenda this year.
The work of photographer Eamonn Farrell, part of a collection entitled Elements Of Nature that will be exhibited at Filmbase, Temple Bar, Dublin from tomorrow.
Eamonn (who also runs the Photocall Ireland agency) writes:
“My work, by contrasting the texture and form of the female body, shorn of clothing and the trappings of technological gizmos, with that of our natural world, is intended to remind us of our vulnerability, as well as our strenghts as a species. And reinforce the fact that we need and will not survive without planet Earth, but it will happily live on without us.”
Phoarr. Bewbs. Hard core. And so forth.
Name those locations (above) anyone?
Irish Mirror journalist Cathal McMahon doorstepped John Gilligan at his welcome home party in Clondalkin, Dublin today.
“I had nothing to do with Veronica Guerin’s murder. I couldn’t wait to get that trial [Veronica Guerin assault charge] on in Kilcock.
Mrs Guerin, Lord have mercy on her, she never wrote one word about me.
I won’t be hiding from nobody. I’ve no problem with anybody.”

The Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) today reacted to the confirmation from the Government that it plans to go ahead with taking over the cost of paying for GP care for under-fives from parents. Kieran Ryan, CEO of the ICGP, said, “It is the policy of the ICGP to support mechanisms for the provision of care where ability to pay is not a barrier. However, the proposal that parents of all under-fives would not be charged directly for GP visits represents a major change to how early years health services are currently organised and paid for. There has been no discussion with the profession on this.
Dr Darach Ó Ciardha said, “If paying for this is coming from the medical card scheme, without that pot being increased considerably, then other vulnerable groups will be affected most. It would not be fair or reasonable that someone on a high salary, who can afford to pay for GP care for their child, would now get it for free, but that vulnerable people who need medical cards would lose them to pay for it.”

Kidding.
Brendan Casey writes;
I know you don’t normally do this, but this morning I received a wedding card containing a significant present, that had been accidentally addressed to my flat.
There’s no return address on the envelope so I was hoping Broadsheet could help me get it to the intended recipients, newlyweds Grainne Kelly and Kevin O’Connor.
If whoever sent the card could get in touch with me via Broadsheet, mentioning the names written on the inside of the card, then I’d be delighted to return it to them.
Anyone?
