“Aer Arann had a partnership approach on this route with Aer Lingus so passengers could fly anywhere in the world which is now lost to commuters. The connecting flight to Belfast which was very important for developing business links with the business communities in both areas is a further setback in encouraging commercial links between the two cities.
“I am disappointed at Aer Arann’s decision to axe the Cork-Dublin route but am not surprised as this service had been targeted by Ryanair for a number of years and was under intense pressure to survive. I believe it was quite obvious to users of both services that Aer...]]></description>

I was struck by this today when reading of HBO&#8217;s 5-Year £150 Million deal with BSkyB. When will an access provider see fit to buy guaranteed rights to quality content online? And when they do will it herald the end of the open web as we have known it?

HE Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation, Batt O’Keeffe TD, today launched a  €7 million fund that will help academics turn research into jobs by bringing new products and services to the market.
Minister O’Keeffe urged academic researchers to apply for support under the Commercialisation Fund which will be administered by Enterprise Ireland.
His call follows the recent announcement by the Taoiseach of Cycle Five of the Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions &#8211; the Government’s investment plan for physical infrastructure and research projects in our higher education institutions between 2011 and 2016.
The Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Fund will bring a steady pipeline of academic activity from the research to the retail stages....]]></description>

CORK’S future has been put on hold this week after the Government published details that the stimulus we need to go forward is not available for another two years according to Deirdre Clune, TD for Cork South Central.
Former Lord Mayor of Cork, Deputy Clune said that the Eastern Gateway Bridge is a critical element needed to facilitate the Docklands Development and the delay in funding hinders the economic development of Cork.
“The Eastern Gateway Bridge is a critical element needed to facilitate the Docklands Development. Studies undertaken by the City Council have shown that there would be significant benefits to the economy of the City if this bridge was provided not least in the message that it would send to would-be investors that Cork is serious about it&#8217;s...]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t think it was possible, but Julian Assange has now done it: By releasing 92,000 documents full of Afghanistan intelligence onto the laptops of an unsuspecting public, the founder of Wikileaks has finally made an ironclad case for the mainstream media. If you were under the impression that we don&#8217;t need news organizations, editors, or reporters with more than 10 minutes&#8217; experience anymore, then think again. The notion that the Internet can replace traditional news-gathering has just been revealed to be a myth.
To see what I mean, try reading this: &#8220;At 1850Z, TF 2-2 using PREDATOR (UAV) PID insurgents emplacing IEDs at 41R PR 9243 0202, 2.7km NW of FOB Hutal, Kandahar. TF 2-2 using PREDATOR...]]></description>

Waringstown batted first on a far from easy pitch. Andy Cousins was missed early on, and stayed with Kyle McCallan to add 65 for the first wicket. On that score McCallan was dropped, then Cousins was lbw to Jeremy Bray for 24. James Hall didn't stay long, also falling to Bray to make it 71-2.
Lee Nelson joined McCallan and the pair batted increasingly fluently as the pitch eased and neither Nazeer nor Albert van der Merwe could quite get it right. Nelson should have been caught on 31, and became increasingly aggressive as his partner...]]></description>

The Net still abounds with stories that her death was the result of a conspiracy.  Motivations advanced for such a conspiracy include suggestions that Diana intended to marry Dodi Al-Fayed, that she intended to convert to Islam, that she was pregnant, and that she was to visit the holy land. Organizations which conspiracy theorists suggest are responsible for her death have included French Intelligence, the British Royal Family, the press, the British Intelligence services MI5 or MI6, the CIA, Mossad, the Freemasons, or the IRA.

Lucy and I have had great fun dressing up over the last couple of days. It&#8217;s years since I&#8217;ve worn any kind of dress or skirt. The dress above is actually Lucys. I put it on over my jeans and tshirt for the craic!
We&#8217;ve been invited to a party and it was beginning to look like I would have to turn up in my wellies and jeans so I had a bit of a panic.
Today was Jono&#8217;s computer class so Lucy and I went around Sligo in search of clothing. First of all we tried TK Maxx, there was a dress that looked OK&#8230;until I noticed it had a kind of pouch on the front, which would have been wonderful if I was a kangaroo&#8230;&#8230;or I was thinking maybe I could put the dog in the pouch.
Off we went around other shops. No luck....]]></description>
