Rag Against The Machine

Rag Week has been cancelled in Galway over last year’s shenanigans.

Instead, the students have organised Donegal Day.

RTÉ reports solemnly:

“Gardaí have said there is a highly visible policing presence in Galway today, with hundreds of students expected to converge on the city centre for “Donegal Day”.

…

“Students queued to enter one city centre pub this morning and a large number of young people are walking around the city wearing Donegal GAA jerseys.”

“Gardaí are monitoring the situation and conducting spot-checks on licensed premises.”

Boo.

I captured this video outside Supermac’s in Eyre Square, Galway, last night. It is pretty much a repeat of what happened around this time last year during the now unofficial NUIG rag week.

“Anyone else get a letter like this today or was it just us?”

The film, which is produced by Cork based production company, Epic Productions, is shooting a climatic scene in The Quays Bar in Galway, on Monday, 29th October and has issued a call for extras.

Given the recent furore over the portrayal of Muhammad on film, one would imagine that filmmakers would steer clear of such controversial topics.

“Well, we’re lucky that Christians have a much better sense of humor about this kind of thing…” says film director, Chris Cullen. ‘Besides, our film is very respectful to the story of Jesus, our intention is not to cause offense, but to encourage people to question; suppose Jesus was born in contemporary Ireland? And suppose he was a musician? Then this is his story!”
