In a wondrous clusterf**k of happenings that all took place within about 30 minutes at the junction of Leeson Street Upper and Sussex Road in Dublin 4, on the way to the old Burlington Hotel earlier this evening, we witnessed, first of all, an impressive firework like display of massive electrical fail on some overhead electrical wires followed almost immediately by the apparent collapse of Séamus Heaney outside an affected restaurant nearby, which ultimately resulted in a car crash involving “rubberneckers.” Sadly, only the electrical fire was committed to video.
UNCANNY UPDATE: IrPsyche writes:
A live electricity cable went rogue outside O’Brien’s Pub on Sussex Terrace, creating a massive firework display. (Unfortunately, I only caught the tail end of it on camera).
More to follow.

The greatest Oirish film you may never have seen?
‘A Quiet Day in Belfast‘ – a 1974 made for TV movie, starring Emmet ‘Dick Moran‘ Bergin and Margot ‘Lois Lane‘ Kidder.
Filmed entirely in Dublin, it depicts the story of Jack, a British soldier and Brigid, a young Belfast Catholic who fall in love.
It’s like Leap Year (2010) with some political violence thrown in.
Name those locations anyone?
Grafton Street, Dublin, this evening.
