ART: Feds spent $14k on controversial dead crow sculpture

TD Brendan Griffin said “Then RTÉ still goes on to say it is proud of the achievement. If that is what RTÉ is proud of, we might as well all pack up and go home. How can a loss of €2.2 million be justified and then stood over as something to be proud of? That is an enormous loss. It is a disgrace; it is a scandal,” he also states that the loss equates to licence fee collected from households in Killarney and Tralee.
WEATHER, most weather reports are greatly exaggerated for this country, can we believe the reports of climate change when they are unable to make daily forecasts.
EPA Report; Farmers and farm organisations have expressed serious concerns over the recent EPA report which will potentially see many parts of the country have the derogation stocking rate reduced from 250kg of organic N/ha to 220kg of organic N/ha. According to Teagasc this could reduce farm profitability by 29% in some scenarios.

ARCHIVES – Limerick Diocesan
Home History & Heritage Diocesan Archives
The fourteenth-century Black Book of Limerick, a unique link with the medieval church, formed the basis of a reconstituted archive for the diocese of Limerick in the early nineteenth century.
Instrumental in this development was Dr John Young, bishop of Limerick (1796-1813) who actively sought to preserve the patrimony and whose papers survive in some quantity, together with those of his predecessor, Dr Denis Conway (1779-96). Another significant eighteenth-century survival is the White Manuscript, comprising a folio of some 200 pages, annals of the diocese collated by Rev. James White (d.1768). In contrast, the collections of each of Young’s successors, Dr Charles Touhy (1814-28), Dr John Ryan (1828-64) and Dr George Butler (1864-86) are, unfortunately, very limited in scope.
The greater part of the archive was created after the 1950s, a period characterised by the expansion of diocesan services and the professionalization of the administration, beginning with the episcopate of Henry Murphy (1958-73). However, the papers of several of Murphy’s predecessors, beginning with E. T. O’Dwyer (1886-1917), are very complete, as are those of Denis Hallinan (1918-23), David Keane (1924-45) and Patrick O’Neill (1946-58).
The O’Dwyer papers in particular betray an acute awareness of the written record and its significance. The collection refers to diverse areas of Irish life during the period, of interest to students of the Irish cultural revival, social and women’s history and the history of Limerick city and diocese in particular.
In the 1950s and after, the private papers of a number of Limerick clergy were acquired by the archive. Especially interesting is the collection of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Irish manuscripts formerly in the library of An Canónach Tomás de Bháll.
The Limerick Diocesan Archive seeks to preserve these records, making them available to the diocese, its people and to researchers as appropriate. Access to the archive is by appointment only.

BARBECUE: The group of scientists has calculated that a typical barbecue* would equate to the equivalent of over 200 balloons of carbon dioxide per person, equivalent to each person driving over 20 miles; whereas a lower emissions barbecue* – where beef burgers were replaced with chicken – would be approximately 130 balloons of greenhouse gases per person.

IDLE BUS: Why more than 130 new electric buses bought a year ago are still lying idle in Dublin
Story by Amy Blaney
More than 130 new electric buses are lying idle in bus depots across Dublin due to a lack of planning permission for charging infrastructure.
The 100 electric double-decker buses and 34 electric single deck buses were ordered by the National Transport Authority in June last year for use by Dublin Bus.
However, no charging infrastructure had been installed prior to purchase and is not expected to be ready until later this year.
The chargers were initially due to be installed by September last year, however, issues with the design for charging infrastructure has delayed the NTA and Dublin Bus from obtaining planning permission.
