Conservative folk should beware,
Of the matchmaking gig down in Clare,
Our traditional ways,
Are now open to gays,
I’m shocked that this festival’s quare.

Would YOU like to help finish a movie narrated by golden-throated actor John Hurt.
You have ONE more day
Brian Duggan writes:
“The last day Diary’, is a new HD Film based on the last written testimony of Nate Champion who was attacked and shot during the Johnson county war 1892.
“The first part of the film and the voiceover is already recorded in Dublin with actor John Hurt. The second part is going to be filmed in the United States in Wyoming and New Jersey. I need funds to rent equipment in the US, travel to the film locations in Kaycee Wyoming, and record a soundtrack in New Jersey with composer David Mansfield.
All monies raised will go towards this project, and if we get over the target it will be used for renting better sound recording equipment and in the post production of the film.”
And Brian has just 24 hours left on fundit.
A few cent can’t Hurt.

Termination For Medical Reasons, which consists of couples who’ve had to travel to the UK for a termination after getting a fatal diagnosis of their unborn child, are surprised that that a group called Women Hurt will get to brief Oireachtas members today.
Women Hurt is a group of women who regret having had abortions.
Their briefing, organised by Fine Gael TD Billy Timmins, top, comes ahead of the Oireachtas Health Committee hearings which begin on Friday.
TFMR have repeatedly requested the same opportunity to meet with TDs but have been turned down.
