This is Ireland. And I’m proud of it. Locals lining the street in Drumcondra this morning to show respect to our local shopkeeper Akram, who died suddenly last week, as the hearse arrived en route to bring him home to his wife and family in Bangladesh. pic.twitter.com/EqUXL1Kf46

The Shaw Shack Redemption

Bodger at 1:55 pm September 20, 2019

The Bernard Shaw on Richmond Street South, Dublin 2.; The Porterhouse Whitworth at Cross Guns Bridge, Glasnevin, Drumcondra, Dublin 9

Further to the news that the Bernard Shaw in Dublin 2 is closing…

Marie Clare Digby, in The Irish Times, reports:

Trevor O’Shea’s Bodytonic hospitality and entertainment group has taken over the Porterhouse Whitworth, at Cross Guns Bridge, and when the Bernard Shaw closes at the end of October, as much of its footprint as possible, including the Eatyard food truck space, is transferring to the new venue. Even the name may be re-used.

Oh.

The Drumcondra Grand Cinema – known as ‘The Drummer’- was the first cinema in Ireland to be specifically designed for sound films.

Now a Tesco Metro.

That’s showbiz.

Thanks Mick O’Farrell

Is This Your Yellow Bike?

Abandoned.

Presumed nicked.

Recognise it?

Dáire Fitzgerald writes:

I found this bike unlocked (abandoned?) in the Drumcondra region of Dublin on Sunday. If anyone can let me know where they left it and the bike’s serial number I’d be eager to reunite it with the owner.

Anyone?

UPDATE: Owner located. Thanks all.
