“I run a Dublin based start-up that teaches musicians DIY electronics (how to make guitar pedals, synthesizers, amps etc…). We have been running workshops around Ireland for the past year (teaching over 250 musicians) and have recently received investment from Enterprise Ireland to expand the workshops and build an online learning platform.”

“We are just about to start twice monthly workshops in Dublin as well as in Belfast, Galway and Cork. By learning how to make their own equipment, musicians can create a sound that is unique to them, better understand the music they are making, and save a fortune on retail equipment. As a start-up we are obviously looking to spread the word about our project, and we thought (hoped really), that it be something that would interest your readership.”

“Dear Broadsheet,

“You may remember us from our ‘Reveal Ireland’ days. Thanks to your posts and feedback from your readers, we quickly realised that our site had to change – it had to offer something absolutely new and unique. So, we scrapped Reveal Ireland and built Reveal from the ground up. Reveal will allow users to travel anywhere around the world, upload images, overviews, reviews and more and actually earn points for their efforts.”

“These points can then be cashed in for unique rewards. The beta website will launch at this year’s Dublin Web Summit in October but we are taking sign-ups on our new landing page now http://signup.yourreveal.co. Once you sign up you will receive a unique code to share with your friends. The more people you refer, the more points you’ll earn, and once we go live you can cash them in for unique rewards.”

The Irish Mail On Sunday reported yesterday how Tipperary Independent TD Michael Lowry is confident the new Gambling Control Bill will allow for his and Richard Quirke’s plans for a multi-million euro casino near Two-Mile Borris in Tipperary to go ahead.

But RTÉ reports:

“Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said the proposed casino at Two-Mile Borris in Co Tipperary cannot go ahead under the terms of the new gambling control bill published today.”

“The bill will limit the number of casinos in the country to a maximum of 40 and no individual casino will be permitted to have more than 15 tables.”

“It also provides for new licensing and regulatory framework for gambling, which extends the licensing regime to include online and electronic gambling.”

“Mr Shatter said the Cabinet was not in favour of so-called super casinos which he said tend to attract the wrong type.”
