More as we get it

The TG4 schedule for Autumn/Winter is out.

Ta capall bas ag flogini.

From RTE Ten:

New show Jockey Eile was announced and it looks set to be horseracing’s answer to the X Factor – if you can imagine that. Seán Bán Breathnach (above) will present the reality show and mentor the budding race jockeys, who are competing for a chance to race at Naas. Breathnach described himself to RTÉ TEN as a bit of a Simon Cowell, whereas he said his sidekick, GAA legend Joe Connolly, was definitely the calmer judge of the pair.

He said: “As the shows progress you will see that I become the Simon Cowell of the show. I am the bad boy. I have to make the final decision and I tell you there was hard words spoken up to my face and behind my back by the participants.”

Íosa.

Críost.

Janine Turner To Speak At RNC Convention (USA Today)

Thanks Dudley

Back in 2009, German artists Simon Jung and Paul & Hanno Schweizer painted what has become known as the ‘Goldfinch of Scampia’ on the side of a semi-derelict  building in Naples.

When they finished, they took a rather excellent group photo.

Meanwhile at The RNC:

As I was standing in line for a sandwich next to an Italian and a Puerto Rican correspondent, a controversy was unfolding on the floor. The RonPaulites, whose furious devotion to a single idea have made them the Ellen Jamesians of the right, were protesting a decision by RNC officials not to seat members of the Maine delegation, which was split between Paul and Romney supporters following rule changes made just prior to the convention.

There were energetic shouts of “Aye!” and “Nay!” as a Puerto Rican party functionary—Zoraida Fonalledas (top in red), the chairwoman of the Committee on Permanent Organization—took her turn at the main-stage lectern. As she began speaking in her accented English, some in the crowd started shouting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”

The chanting carried on for nearly a minute while most of the other delegates and the media stood by in stunned silence. The Puerto Rican correspondent turned to me and asked, “Is this happening?”
