Ireland 2100.
The nightmare scenario.
Glug.

A mate and I made a worst case (70m rise) scenario sea-level rise map of Ireland for the year 2100. We imagined an Ireland after planned inland urban-sprawl as the sea-level will be relatively slow, with designated safe zones that government encouraged investment in.
We also imagined that most of Dublin’s wealth moved to Bray and Greystones forming the twin city of Braystones (which is slightly more inland than modern Bray and Greystones) while most of Dublin’s people moved to either Tallaght or Maynooth.
Cork/Ennis sprawled inland but most of it was lost, Derry completely relocated as the walled city was submerged and Gaway, Limerick and Waterford are all lost for the ages.
Each Island has a capital that represents the Island in government and each town has a representative in the island capital.
Not sure how to deal with the North as the islands didn’t really form along political borders and the towns became dependent on each other’s infrastructure. All in all, not super scientific or accurate but sure just a bit of fun…
G’wan the Braystones.
FIGHT!

For the day that’s in it.
RTÉ’s promo ahead of Ireand versus Australia, the final game of the popular and often overpriced black stout series at Lansdowne Road Nua.
The rarest of creatures.
Tom McGurk’s inner monologue is unleashed:
Michael Cheika meets Joe Schmidt. It’s rugby’s rumble in the jungle, it’s fire against ice, it’s Cavaliers versus the Roundheads. Who will be Socrates and who will be Plato?
Needs more Honey Badger in fairness.
Stout loving Seoull Korea tourism student Byeongyoon beseeches interested parties to help make his Irish dream come true.
Mmf.

Thanks Donie O’Sullivan

For the week that’s in it.
A new series of tv commercials for a well known and usually overpriced black stout that reinforces the greatness of what can be achieved if we choose to defy expectation.
