Irish Womens Workers Union- Liberty Hall.
I did one of these posters last week and decided to do it again. I’m mad like that.
Tuesday marks International Womens Day. There are plenty of great events planned nationwide to mark the day, and indeed the week around it.
Personally, I’ll be getting along to the ‘Hannah and her Sisters’ exhibition in the ILAC.
On the subject of Mná na hÉireann, the Alice Milligan exhibition in the National Library is something I intend to pop back to.
This iconic and fascinating journalist, political activist, feminist and human rights campaigner was one of 13 children born in 1866 into a middle class Protestant Unionist family living in Co Tyrone. She studied history and literature at King’s College London; taught herself Irish; became a staunch Irish nationalist and supporter of the 1916 Rising; was hailed as the ‘infant nurse’ of the biggest Irish political movement in the 1920s, and was a tireless human rights campaigner as well as an organiser of the Irish language movement in Ulster.
At some point this week, I will get back to Against The Grain. It’s 2 for 1 dinner special on a Tuesday night looks appealing, but the foreign beer even more so.
If I can skip out of college a bit early Wednesday, I’ll get along to the screening of ‘So Hot Right Now’ at NCAD. More than anything, I’m curious.
Somewhere? at The Workmans Wednesday night is a tempter too. Basically, picture our ska night upstairs and imagine the very opposite of it. Indie floor fillers and three quid cocktails, there’s no pride in being assisted into a taxi. Who could ever accuse this blog of glorifying alcohol?
On Thursday, I want to see what Ticket Thursday is all about. Can I actually get a good deal off the back of my pre-paid bus ticket? I’ll tell you on Thursday night.
On Friday night, I’ll be in Inchicore (Inchie, Inchie, Inchicoreeee) for the League of Ireland clash between Saint Patrick’s Athletic and the Almost-In-Dublin Bray Wanderers. You know how the League works, it needs money and local support and no matter what corner of the city you inhabit we’d encourage you to get down to your local side.
At some point during the week, I will hopefully get down to the Dublin Eye to see if it is as crap as it looks.
It looks really, really crap in fairness:
Throughout the week, I’ll be ringing the Dublin City Council like an old man giving out about Fianna Fail/Fine Gael/dodgy independents posters that haven’t been removed yet. You should too. Hit ’em in the pocket.

Come Here To Me! 
I heard the Dublin eye is good! I went on the Belfast one, and it was kind of delightful in a low key way.

Nice!
Glackin, I love you! See you Wednesday.
Gracie, cheers.
This is now a weekly feature. If I do half the things I put down each week, it’s a winner.
I walk past the Dublin wheel (‘Revolver’ as it is now known), everyday, and yes it looks really crap. It’s never busy apart from the hour just before a gig, especially if its a tweenie/teenager gig like The X Factor Tour, or this week Justin Bieber. The rest of the time a particularly bored looking attendent sits in the booth waiting for customer to come along as the wheel turns every so often, just to make sure it is still working.
The view from it is not that great, unless you are interested in seeing Dublin Port from a height
