Two Facebook staff outside the company’s Dublin HQ at Grand Canal Dock this afternoon. Up to 400 Irish workers are the beneficiaries of a windfall said to amount to a couple of hundred thousand euro a piece after today’s IPO.

Damn get-rich-quick, privacy-baiting hipsters.

Regarding the possibility of a ‘second vote’ a Libertas Institute spokesman said:

“He [Richard Bruton] admits that Ireland can vote on this deal later in the year – meaning that the Irish people are free to hold their cards until we know what other EU countries are putting on the table. Dozens of experts have called for the postponement of this referendum. It’s now clear that the only choice for Ireland is to tell the Government to wait, seek a deal that tackles our real problem – the bank debt – and come back to us later in the year. This can only be done with a calm, rational ‘NO’ on 31 May.”

I know there have been premature images doing the rounds all week but this has to take the biscuit. Dublin airport should do their research in future. The image of 1 star on the Ulster tee will do them no favours, they won it in 1999. Shocking imo.

Forget the pun that’s just sprung to mind. He’s way ahead of you: the series is already entitled Blow Job.

‘Throne’ down by Gary Barlow, Princes Charles and Harry, Lloyd Webber, bagpipe players and African kids.

Awful.

It’s going to be massive.
