We actually had a version of this in the UK a hundred years ago, they were called British Restaurants. True story. We should bring them back.

This is what a Community Canteen for the elderly looks like in Shanghai, China.
Foods cooked fresh, served hot, and cheap price as the government subsidizes it...
"Serving the people" is neither a slogan nor a poster, but a real place with real food serving the real people.

Next week marks the 110th anniversary of the tragic death of 18-month-old Herbert Lemass who was accidentally shot dead by his brother Seán Lemass in January 1916. As Lemass's daughter Maureen Haughey remarked a century later, Herbert Lemass was the first casualty of 1916. Here's a great Irish diary on the subject by @FrankmcnallyIT in today's paper and online. It also covers the death in 1916 of the other Herbert Lemass. irishtimes.com/opinion/an-ir…

What a bloody brilliant midfielder Alan McLoughlin was. The sort of player that this current #Pompey team are crying out for.
Still watch these videos back & find it tough that we can’t reminisce over his many big moments.
FA Cup week!!
Alan McLoughlin’s hat trick away to Blackburn 3-3 draw.

Delighted to share here a trailer of our recent filming-project 'The Arandora Star Sinking'. It's a documentary about memories of the tragedy by third-generation Italians in Liverpool.
Many thanks to all those involved in the filming production.

On the night we elect his successor, this man, this artist, is in my thoughts.
What service he has given us.
Not only as @PresidentIRL but as our first Minister for the Arts. This photo I took on Inis Oirr in 2021 is one of my most treasured. Go raibh maith aige. #Aras25
