Anyone remember this legendary group? Scary Éire, made up of Rí Rá, DJ Mek, Dada Sloosh and Mr Browne, were the forefathers of Irish hip-hop. Here’s a 1993 recording from their Fanning Sessions #spéirghorm
Scary Eire (1993 Session)
We’ve been on the lookout for this session for a while but watching the fallout from RTE TV’s ‘Ireland’s Rappers’ was the spur to look again, a comment on the Irish Ti…

Sign! For ECIs to be considered by the European Commission, each country must meet its threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are currently at just under 6,000, approx 58%, so we need a big push! Belgium, Finland, France and Spain are there, let's get there too!

Watched Rental Family yesterday. Brendan Fraser is typically brilliant, 11 year old Shannon Mahina Gorman from Navan is exceptional as Mia, but Japanese acting legend, Akira Emoto, steals the show for me as Alzheimer’s sufferer Kikou. At times Rental Family is predictable but beautiful nonetheless.

As long as FFG remain in coalition they should be called the LFP, the Long Finger Party.
This is early days and we should be wary of drawing too much inference form a single poll. That said, two parties are in the dangerous "FFG Alliance" ballpark. If, like me, you think this would be disastrous, please join any of the left parties that offer members a vote on going into coalition.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
