There’s some sort of sneaky electric picnic party happening in a park across the road from my office. I asked one of the security guards (it’s a private park) and he said it was all the organisers for electric picnic and oxegen meeting up for some PR event… there’s mini circus tents, yurts (those round tents) a few stalls and Portaloos all set up and ready to go. loads of security tho.

A six year old Cork girl is to sacrifice 12 inches of blonde hair in order to help her sister, who has autism, to get an assistance dog.
In a gesture reminiscent of a scene from Little Women, Lauren O’Mahony will cut off her long blonde hair in order to raise funds for Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI) this May. Her five year old sister Amy has been diagnosed with autism and has been on a waiting list for an assistance dog for 10 months. She could be waiting up to three years before a dog is available for placement.

Then this news will get you excited.

Twenty one years on and still a small band of fundamentalists are embarrassing the country on the international stage.
The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution in 1992 was a failed proposal to disregard suicide as a reason for an abortion.
This was followed by the proposed Twenty-fifth Amendment in 2002 which also failed on the same terms.
Numerous opinion polls have shown popular support for legislation for the X case and yet here we find ourselves…
