Blue Q Men Crying Magnets:

Because sometimes it’s nice to see a man weep. Like someone who cares, someone who has feelings, someone who can have remorse and feel sympathy. A real person. A true person. Someone like…. a woman.

This is Hodges Figgis’ window [Dawson Street, Dublin]. You will notice the black edition of Dubliners (O’Brien Press) bears an uncanny resemblance to the much earlier, red edition by Lilliput Press [1992] and Dolmen Press [1986], designed by Louis le Brocquy. Maybe the designer at O’Brien press had a tight deadline.

The kicker is this: O’Brien press got the contract for One City, One Book so that edition is plastered everywhere now…

From John Corcoran, of The Irish Commercial Tenants Association (and proprietor of Korky’s on Grafton Street, Dublin):

In his Árd Fheis speech on Saturday night Taoiseach Enda Kenny stated “We had intended to legislate to end upward-only rent reviews, but this proved impossible because of constitutional difficulties”.

However

Your Government has received a legal opinion from the esteemed former senior counsel Gerard Hogan stating that “Under Article 43.2.2 of the Constitution in the exigencies of the common good, the Government can interfere with these leases and allow commercial tenants market rents. Also, landlords are entitled to market rents but not to compensation.”

Hmm.

So, who’s right?

Anyone?
