That Iona Institute anti-gay marriage video has got 135k views! So myself and my friend had some spare time on Friday and decided to rework (above) their “creative idea”.
So we decided to use their words, in the right way to get the RIGHT message out! We also used their artwork so it kind of looks like the same ad.

The Irish Independent,today reports that the Government may sell Irish Life to the owner of Canada Life Insurance, Great West Lifeco, “within months”.
You may recall a previously planned sale to Great West Lifeco, which bid €1.1billion for Irish Life, was called off in November 2011.
The collapse in talks was largely blamed on market volatility in the eurozone at the time.
But of course potential buyers had raised concerns surrounding the implications of any investigation into Irish Life’s role in the €7.2billion ‘window dressing’ loans between Irish Life Permanent and Anglo Irish Bank.
Loans which, it is understood, were approved by the former secretary general at the Department of Finance Kevin Cardiff (above), who is now working at the European Court of Auditors.
So presumably the purchasers are satisfied there will be no legal action arising out of these loans. And Kevin can go back to his waffles in peace.
Anyone?

The Dead Pigeon On A Branch That Looks Like Ireland (Tadhg O’Halloran)
Today marks the first day of production on the Broadsheet Book Of Things That Look Like Ireland (New Island).
We hope to have it unsold and existential on all good bukeshelves by March 17.
We have chosen Aware as the recipient of any proceeds should the book make anything that looks like money.
Aidan Coughlan, whose US election night bike wheel theft moved many of our readers last year, and researcher Elaine Herbert, a keen student of cartography, head up the book’s editing and publication team.
If you have any last minute unspecified things that look like Ireland Aidan and Elaine would love to hear from you. Images to ireland@broadsheet.ie
