There is about a million images from it here, but this one sums it up best – a mix of ‘WTF?’ and Cannibal Holocaust.

It saddens me that as a public representative, an Irish person, and a woman from the Gaeltacht who grew up with Irish, that I cannot use my own language as I go about my work. It angers me when I sit in Parliament and I am told at the beginning of each meeting that an interpretation service is available in each language. Of course Irish is excluded and ignored.

It just makes no sense. For a kilo of onion, imported from Germany, I’m paying the equivalent of a bottle of good whisky.
Jon Gardar Ogmundsson, who owns the franchise for McDonald’s in Iceland, talking about the “unique operational complexity” of doing business in an isolated nation with a population of just 300,000. Iceland’s first McDonald’s restaurant opened in 1993, and the chain is now pulling out of the country altogether.

Yeah, I do it naked. I don’t do it with great expertise, just the joy of it – the dog does it with me. It saves me taking him for a walk. We just go out and bounce for a while.The dog loves it. In fact, I caught the dog doing it on his own. Two dogs belong to my grandchildren. They got a new one at Christmas, but they are not very good at cleaning up, so that falls on me. I have had a dog since I was four or five, so I wouldn’t be without one. We trampoline when we get together, to make up for lost time. I get home most weekends, sometimes not for the entire weekend. There is something special about hillwalking with a dog.
Gerry Adams TD, leader of Sinn Féin, talking about his love of trampolining.
Asked if the dog can do any tricks Mr Adams said: “I don’t want to discuss it publicly – but yes.”
