Five trees are being cut down this morning on Desmond St Portobello Dublin 8 without notice or consultation with the residents. My household only found out today when another resident put a note (above) through our door.

It’s a sad day as ‘Uncle Chris’ Commander Hadfield leaves orbit after the successful completion of his mission [which involved photographing Ireland during downtime] on the International Space Station.
As a tribute, Dave MacLean has put together an interactive map of all photos taken by Chris of the auld sod.

Last week, US comedian Tim Renkow (above), who has Cerebral Palsy, took an early flight from London to Dublin.
Tim was performing that night at the Stag’s Head, Dame Court, and had a pre-booked room at The Times Hostel, in nearby College Street.
Tim’s friend Susan Warren writes:
Tim approached The Times hostel at approximately 8am on Saturday and the front door was closed in his face, after assuming this was a misunderstanding (as it was so early) he returned at approximately 9am. Without giving him an opportunity to speak the reception staff claimed the hostel was full and he needed to leave.
He attempted to explain he had a room booked but before he had a chance to be heard the guards were called to remove him from their grounds as they assumed he was drunk/homeless.
At this point he was too embarrassed to fight his corner any further. He ended up having to find alternative accommodation down the road in a vulnerable state. We have attempted to contact the hostel so they can apologise directly to Tim and explain their behaviour and take some accountability.
The hostel has not answered our calls or emails [Broadsheet contacted the hostel for comment but they have yet to respond] and this has left Tim, his friends and family hurt and frustrated. I am contacting you so this may be taken seriously and support given to Tim and all other Cerebral Palsy suffers to be given fair and equal treatment. Thank you.
