Approximately 100 residents from the Saggart area staged a protest against the sale of the Citywest Hotel to the Government for permanent use as asylum seeker accommodation. It was the third night of protests outside the hotel which the Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan has said will now be purchased by the State for €148 million. On Friday residents staged a convoy through the village passing Citywest. They escalated it to a peaceful protest outside the gates on Tuesday and Wednesday evening.

RT @bobdylan: Heard the sad news about Brian today and thought about all the years I’ve been listening to him and admiring his genius. Rest…
The word genius is overused in popular music, but not for Brian Wilson - I hope his next life is the endless summer he so brilliantly created for all of us. ☀️⛱️🩳🏄🏿♀️🌊
